Soriano considers Chicago for $136 million contract
CHICAGO — Alfonso Soriano is the latest beneficiary of the Chicago Cubs' spending splurge.
Soriano and the Cubs reached a preliminary agreement on an eight-
3 year contract worth about $136 million, a major league official told The Associated Press on Sunday, a deal that would be the
fifth-largest in baseball history.
The contract is contingent on Soriano passing a physical, according to the official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because the deal had not yet been announced.

Michigan was impressive enough in a 42-39 loss to the

them to get another shot at Ohio State in the national title game if the Trojans keep winning.

Wichita State enters Top 25
BY JIM O'CONNELL ASSOCIATED PRESS
The Shockers entered the rankings Monday at No. 24, their first appearance since Dec. 6, 1983. It comes following a victory Sunday against George Mason, their recent big rival.
The last time Wichita State was in The Associated Press' Top 25 its star player was Xavier McDaniel, and current coach Mark Turgeon was still in high school.
'It's nice when you haven't been ranked in a long time. It's good because I've watched programs build themselves up and get
national exposure and be in the Top 25," said Turgeon, the 41-year-old coach who signed a 10-year contract extension last April after leading Wichita State to its first NCAA appearance since 1988. "I'd rather be in the Top 25 in February as every coach says, but right now we're going off last year's success rather than an early season win over George Mason."
"We StandBehind Our Work, and WE CARE!" 842-8605 2858 Four Wheel Dr.
The Shockers lost to George Mason twice last season — at home in the regular season and then in the round of 16 in the Patriots' run to the Final Four. On Sunday, Wichita State (3-0) beat George Mason 72-66, a win that drew enough attention to move them into the rankings.
"We were a lot more fired up to play them than they were to play us since they beat us at home last year and then the NCAA tournament," Turgeon said.
