The deadline for the Cubs to reach a deal with Aramis Ramirez past at midnight Sunday morning, so now the other 29 teams will be able to negotiate a contract with the third baseman. His agent, Paul Kinzer, said Ramirez's demands will rise to a six- or seven-year deal in the $100 million range once the power hitter hits the open market. Sources say the Cubs had discussed a five-year, $75 million package.
