    Wow, that Chapman incident sounds bad.

    In regards to Kazmir, I've thought all along that bringing him back could be a really good idea if he comes with reduced starts.

    Wonder what the cost is for Fernandez. Options, I guess, are: 1) Give up reed and a couple significant pieces, or 2) keep reed but give up the farm.

    I'd rather keep Reed and see if Appel, Moran, Velazquez, Bregman, and 1 of Daz/Kyle would work. Gotta give up to get...and Jose is a stud

    the above 2 trades are insanity IMO. Especially given the holes and strengths on this team

    @BNightengale: The #Cubs get Shelby Miller from #Braves for Javy Baez per @GDubCub

    Nightengale is the MLB Columnist for USA Today

    I realize those are huge trades. I don't even know if I would do that. I'm just guessing that's how high Fernandez' asking price is.

    Also, that report is from the Chicago Suns-Times Cubs beat reporter. Looks legit.

    Great deal for the Cubs IMO.

    Wow, great deal for Cubs. Would have liked Miller with a package centered around Bregman.

    Apologie...Nightengale, Keith law, and the Cubs beat reporter (who reported it) just debunked it. No deal.

    I wouldn't give up anything like that package for Fernandez. Young pitching is just too volatile, with the injury risk. He's already had Tommy John and missed most of the past 2 seasons.

    $6M/year! The market for relievers is officially out of control if Chad Qualls is getting $6M/year.

    Note that Qualls has made about $20M over the course of his career. He'll be improving his career earnings by over 50% at ages 38-39. Unbelievable.

    $6M total, so only $3M/year

    I'm not overly surprised. Qualls posted good peripherals, which suggest he could bounce back. His ground ball tendencies would also be attractive to Colorado.
