"The Chicago Cubs aren't done spending money just yet. Free-agent pitcher Jason Marquis has agreed to a three-year contract with the team, according to multiple reports," reports ESPN.com. "A source told ESPN.com's Jerry Crasnick that the deal is for $21 million. The source also said that the Cubs are pursuing free agent outfielder Cliff Floyd, who is expected to decide next week between Chicago and Seattle."

OK, now we're getting a little crazy. A guy with a career ERA 6% below league average, and who had an ERA 27% below league average last season while striking out less than 4.5 batters per 9 innings, is someone you might give a 1 year contract for a few million dollars, given that he has some upside. But you don't give him $21M over 3 years.
