December 7, 20169 yr QUOTE (DirtySox @ Dec 6, 2016 -> 09:42 PM) So about Robertson... Maybe still to the Nationals. Wasnt Wade Davis on their list? If the Cubs get him he's off the list. If he nets Soler we can probably get a decent piece or two back.
December 7, 20169 yr Bob Nightengale @BNightengale 2m2 minutes ago Aroldis Chapman may get his $100 million deal after all. One team says he has offer of $92 million.

December 7, 20169 yr QUOTE (Deadpool @ Dec 6, 2016 -> 07:55 PM) That's insane. The one year we have two aces to move, the value of a closer skyrockets. That's ok, we have bullpen arms to move as well. Hahn is going to move most of these guys. It's just going to be gut-wrenching waiting on him to do it. I'll say I am super comfortable with him doing it too; I have zero concern that he'll jump the gun on anything.
December 7, 20169 yr It cant be Jorge Soler+ for Wade Davis right? Davis has had a few DL stints and arm trouble.
December 7, 20169 yr QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Dec 7, 2016 -> 05:12 AM) If his physical checks out, it better be Soler++ Seems like a 1-1 deal
December 7, 20169 yr Jon Heyman @JonHeyman 57s58 seconds ago Marlins not believed to be at 92M for chapman. They are intent on bigtime closer. But they won't go there.
December 7, 20169 yr QUOTE (fathom @ Dec 6, 2016 -> 10:13 PM) Seems like a 1-1 deal Big time steal for Epstein then if health checks out.
December 7, 20169 yr QUOTE (bmags @ Dec 6, 2016 -> 10:18 PM) Why are Marlins so intent on a closer? Ya know, to save the 65 games they may win next year.
December 7, 20169 yr QUOTE (bmags @ Dec 6, 2016 -> 11:18 PM) Why are Marlins so intent on a closer? They're a really weird team.
December 7, 20169 yr QUOTE (Baron @ Dec 6, 2016 -> 09:58 PM) It cant be Jorge Soler+ for Wade Davis right? Davis has had a few DL stints and arm trouble. And he's a free agent after 2017.
December 7, 20169 yr QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Dec 6, 2016 -> 10:24 PM) Big time steal for Epstein then if health checks out. That would totally suck for us.
December 7, 20169 yr So what on Earth are the Royals doing? Are they going to move Cain, Duffy, and Moustakas too?
December 7, 20169 yr Bob NightengaleVerified account @BNightengale The #Cubs and #Royals have a deal: OF Jorge Soler to #Royals for Wade Davis. Teams examining physicals. Will be announced in morning
December 7, 20169 yr Cubs fans are getting stupid now, lamenting that they are giving away a guy like Soler. Where they hell was he going to play on that Cubs roster?
December 7, 20169 yr QUOTE (Knuckles @ Dec 7, 2016 -> 01:49 AM) Another steal by Theo though. Why is it a steal? One year of a closer with arm issues? That's not tremendous value.
December 7, 20169 yr It's worth the risk for Theo. Cubs have no spot for Soler in their lineup. I agree though on Davis. He's a TJS waiting to happen. Went on the DL twice for forearm strain, which is a lot times is a precursor for TJS.
