"The Cubs avoided going to arbitration with six of their seven eligible players, with pitcher Matt Garza the lone holdout at Tuesday night's deadline.

Garza will seek $10.225 million from an arbiter, while the Cubs have offered $7.950 million. The two sides still could agree on a midpoint before the case is heard.

Last season, Garza avoided arbitration after his trade to the Cubs, agreeing to pitch for $5.95 million. He was 10-10 in his first season on the North Side."
