The Chicago Cubs surprised their fans at the 2012 Cubs Convention on Friday evening when they introduced reliever Kerry Wood and announced that the club had re-signed the veteran, much to the crowd's delight.
Kerry Wood has agreed to a deal who stay with the Cubs. Insane ovation at the Cubs Convention as the great Pat Hughes announces the deal.

Wood's deal is for one year and $3 million, and there is a club option for 2013. A deal between the two sides had been discussed for a while, though the organization was a bit coy about it in the days leading up to the convention.
Wood had a 3.35 ERA in 51 innings for the Cubs last season.
