Kerry Wood shockingly came back to the Chicago Cubs for only $1.5 million dollars. He turned down a $3.5 million dollar contract from the White Sox. Frankly, he is worth around $5-$10 million dollars on the market. The Yankees needed him desperately and the Red Sox always wanted him. For Wood, 2011 wasn’t about the money or the rings; it was about returning home again.
