Or hope he’s ready to be a landlord.
According to Chicago Magazine, Cubs outfielder Kosuke Fukudome has purchased a three-bedroom condo in a Lake Shore Drive building for $1.32 million. Fukudome has been renting a home on the Gold Coast since 2007, his first year with the team. Muskat Ramblings.
Of course, with the way the Cubs have paid him over the past three years – and adding in the $13.5 million he’ll get in 2011 – this condo is chump change. Maybe he’s buying them all over the country.

CUBS LINEUP — I don't disagree - at all - that the Cubs have a bullpen (and specifically, an Adbert Alzolay) problem at the moment. But it's really hard for me to even think about the bullpen when the Cubs...
LUIS ARRAEZ TRADED — Never underestimate the aggressiveness of Padres President AJ Preller or the willingness-to-be-awful of the Miami Marlins. Tonight, those two forces came together to deliver - by far - the biggest, early-season trade I can remember. Luis Arraez...
Ah, technology. I have no idea why this post, and it's twin are showing up as posted on New Year's Day, 1970. So we'll let the mystery linger. Finally we get word from Zambrano, himself, that he will not be...
Finally we get word from Zambrano, himself, that he will not be pitching for Venezuela in the World Baseball Classic, despite Venezuela's stated belief that he is. I'd love to find out the details from behind the scenes as to...
By now you've heard the twin pieces of news buzzing around the 'net today (aside from the imminent Marquis-to-Rockies deal and the probably-going-to-sign-Milton-Bradley news). Mark DeRosa has been dealt to the Indians for a trio of ho-hum minor league pitching...
