So about Robertson...

Only to trade him at the deadline.

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.

Aroldis Chapman may get his $100 million deal after all. One team says he has offer of $92 million.

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.

It cant be Jorge Soler+ for Wade Davis right? Davis has had a few DL stints and arm trouble.

If his physical checks out, it better be Soler++

Seems like a 1-1 deal

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.

 

Why are Marlins so intent on a closer?

Big time steal for Epstein then if health checks out.

Ya know, to save the 65 games they may win next year.

They're a really weird team.

And he's a free agent after 2017.

That would totally suck for us.

So what on Earth are the Royals doing? Are they going to move Cain, Duffy, and Moustakas too?

Gomez to re-sign with Rangers for 11.5 million.

The #Cubs and #Royals have a deal: OF Jorge Soler to #Royals for Wade Davis. Teams examining physicals. Will be announced in morning

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?

Another steal by Theo though.

Why is it a steal? One year of a closer with arm issues? That's not tremendous value.

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.

Yet he came back in September and was still dominant.
