Cubs Non-Tender Prior

December 12, 2007 by cubsnet

This deserves a longer article, but the topic is so worn out, it's hard. The Cubs have non-tendered Mark Prior, allowing him to become a free agent. Four years ago, the Cubs could be said to be Prior's team, given his stature on the mound and in front of the microphone. What followed was seemingly endless spring training Prior watches. There will be no "Prior Watch" in 2008. But I will be watching him, hoping he can come back with some semblance of success from the significant shoulder damage he sustained.
