Yahoo! Sports - MLB - Cubs agree to two-year deal with Rusch
CHICAGO (AP) -- Glendon Rusch agreed to a two-year, $4 million contract with the Chicago Cubs on Saturday after becoming a key spot starter last season following a 1-12 record with Milwaukee in 2003.

Rusch will go to spring training as a potential fifth starter. There is a player option for 2006 and the value of the contract could increase to $6.4 million over the two years based on incentives for games started.

Potential fifth? Unless we get Clement back, he might be the fourth starter.
