Cubs keep Ward, pass on Trachsel, Floyd, Lumpy and the Beaver.

Cliff Floyd
The Chicago Cubs Friday picked up pinch-hit specialist Daryle Ward's $1.2 million contract option for 2008, after declining options for Floyd and pitcher Steve Trachsel, making them free agents, the Chicago Sun-Times reported.

Floyd, 34, who talked in September about retiring, said he plans to keep playing and has told his agent to reach out to every major-league team.

The Cubs declined Trachsel's $4.75 million option.
