I'm surprised but not surprised. I'm wondering if Theo and Jed talked to Wood and suggested that he might be released if he didn't retire.

One of my favorite players ever. It's kinda sad to me he couldn't go out the way he wanted to

When do you guys think he'll be singing the 7th inning stretch? I think the next homestand.

I haven't heard about a press conference yet but I could see them fast-tracking it to this Sunday. As of right now it's a "source" from a Tweet and it's not officially official, but that kind of news is about as concrete as it gets before you whip it out of the source.

He wants to get 1 more apperance then will retire. His wife tweets started this earlier then he thought.

Woody will always be one of my favorite all time Cubs. I pitched in Highschool and College and he was always someone i looked up to. I know he didnt live up to his potential but had a good career.

There's apparently a Twitter movement to have Wood pitch the first inning as the starter before riding off into the sunset.

Kerry Wood is in full uniform and going out to throw now. He's listed on lineup card as one of today's relievers. Possible final outing?

Wouldnt it be funny if he has great outing and changes mind?

At that point I think Theo and Jed DFA him for an eventual release :lol: That would be an uber-dick move to make on Kerry's part.

I hope he stays with the organization in some way.
