Will be interesting to see if LAD can keep both Chapman and Jansen happy (see Papelbon / Storen situation). It's a risk.

Wonder if they'd move Jansen, both in walk years.

Dodgers also working on Iwakuma deal according to Jon heyman. Busy day

If they got him, Cueto and Chapman, thats pretty good consolation prize for Greinke.

Whew. O'Day is good, but this is for the best. Nats probably starting to get desperate for a high leverage RP.

They aren't really forced though. They have Papeldouche and Storen still.

They're shopping Storen.

Cant see how they keep him and Paps.

@ChrisCotillo
Two agents I spoke to tonight believe Jason Heyward is looking for a 10-year deal.

I don't believe that you believe Paps will be on that roster come April .

Big dude who hits the ground a lot, history of injuries...I'd be looking for the years, too.

 

[Heyward]

He'll probably opt out in 4-5 years anyway but still, if he doesnt progress, stuck with that for 10 years.

Interested to see what kinda deal he gets though.

Cespedes or Justin would set his market.

#Cubs have been in steady contact with agent for Jason Heyward, sources say; unclear if they'll continue pursuit post-Zobrist signing.

They sure did.

Only really have Soler/Coghlan at OF.

I think Heyward will sign first and set the market for those two.

Better than the Cardinals, although i suspect he stays there unless someone blows his socks off.

They need a spot to put Schwarber, though. His bat has to be in the lineup, and I don't think he'll ever be a consistent enough catcher. Plus, Bryant, while the metrics like him, has been inconsistent with the glove, so I'd like to have an extra spot to put him if I had to, as well.

I've read they are looking at Heyward to play center,

I think he stays in Stl unless someone offers him more money.

 

[50PoundHead]

Close is a very patient agent, but I think if Heyward were going to stay with the Cardinals, he would have signed with them already.

So the O's pulled their offer to Davis. Good for them. At their payroll you can't let him sit on the offer til he finds more $.

They'd be better off getting Justin and a SP over most of their money to Davis.
