Disappointed Wood: ‘It was a great run’ (Cubs)

Kerry Wood may be moving on, but he may never stop looking back.
The Cubs’ former ace — who went from overnight sensation in 1998 to an All-Star closer for the Cubs this past season — called his departure from the only organization he has known ”bittersweet” and said eventually he’d like to return to the Cubs in some capacity.
Speaking publicly Friday for the first time since the team informed him it planned to cut ties, Wood praised general manager Jim Hendry for his honesty and said he knew through much of the season that this change of direction could be coming.
