"Former Cubs pitcher Kerry Wood was at Ryan Dempster's charity event Friday and talked with us about going through free agency:

"There has been a lot of interest, but at this stage of my career it has to be the right fit for my family. We are raising our kids and making our permanent home in Chicago, so we'll see what happens."

On coming back to the Cubs: "Nothing is impossible. We'll see how things play out."

There have also been several rumors about Wood possibly playing for the White Sox but that appears to be off the table. When asked about signing with the Sox, Wood smiled and said we've talked about that before. Wood has told us several times over the years that he could never see himself putting on a White Sox uniform."
