The 2015 Winter Meetings (Dec 7-10)

Hopefully Zobrist won't get that much because it will be used as a direct comparison in Bautista contract talks.

 

I can understand offering Zobrist a lot more money than usual, considering his versatlity and production with the bat. However, $20m is an absurd amount.

No QO attached has some extra value as well.

[Laika]

ok so apparently Bob Nightengale is a joke now

Why would the Cubs even dream of doing that? Just lol.

 

Arrieta

Lester

Lackey

Hammel

Hendricks

 

Shelby wouldn't even crack their rotation.

[HERPDERP]

Nightengale is usually reliable :/

[Laika]

WHAT HAPPENED TO BoB!?

 

 

He's a clown now. (that was last year, obvs)

Source: Ben Zobrist has at least one 4-year contract offer in hand. Decision could come in next several hours.

Iwakuma and now Zobrist.... This is madness

Don't really know if Texas needs outfielder, but I would love it if we could make a deal for Fielder. Would they want Pompey so they could put Hamilton at DH? 90 million over 4 years would be nice. We'd have a massive year and then have someone locked up to replace EE. See if we could even get them to eat some of the money.

@Ken_Rosenthal :

Sources: #Cubs talking to #Yankees about trade that would send Starlin Castro to NYY, sources tell me and @jonmorosi.

Why do the Yankees hate Refsnyder?

[Pulk_Pull]

Not sure how I'd feel about a move like that... Yanks would have to give up something significant and the Cubs ain't no fool.

Feel great about it because Castro sucks.

They know he has no future

I traded him, so your shot falls flat.

[tpurewal97]

Gardner for Castro maybe

[Angrioter]

Castro isn't bueno at béisbol

It also makes it invalid cause anyone you trade will surely break out

That hasn't really been accurate.

#Mariners appear close to deal to get Evan Scribner.

 

Scribs is good

Sarcasmo dominicano. Scribner is really good, but we signed Venditte

Theo says the Cubs are getting closer to a deal. They are trying to sync up a trade and FA. That sounds like Zobrist/Castro move, IMO

Pedro Gomez ‏@pedrogomezESPN 2m2 minutes ago

Source: @Dbacks pretty close to signing Mike Leake. As another exec told me, you can't sign Greinke and stop there. If you're in, you're IN.

[bendera3]

I want Pat Venditte in our bullpen this year. I think his unique talent would be beneficial and the cost would be minimal.

Braves get Tyler Flowers on a nice deal. Between 5.3 and 8.3M over two years. Why the hell did the Sox non-tender this guy? He's better than Navarro and Avila, and no more expensive.
