GGajewski18 Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 A lot of rumors that he's going to sign today. Sounds like it's between the Cubs and Cardinals. Him signing will finally set the OF market Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiSoxFanMike Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 It would be so awesome if the Sox swooped in and got him at the last second. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 Still think the Angels have a shot at him. If it's between Cubs and Cardinals, I truly believe he signs with the Cubs. Cubs beat writers seem optimistic and Cardinals writers don't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be stunned if the Angels committed that type of money (again). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baron Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 Cubs landing him would suck. He's my favorite player in the league. But that move should put them at world series favorites. Cardinals really can't afford to lose him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

royoung Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 I will be happy when he ultimately signs, because the (more) realistic Sox targets, Upton and Cespedes, will follow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shipps Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 Cubs are just driving that price up for the Cards. Then they go get Gordon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A big name, big money who is NOT a top of the line elite franchise player.......and who is a career 260+ hitter who has good defense? That's insane. At least Crawford was batting 300 when he signed his contract and had base stealing upsides. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard something about them not being interested in Gordon, because of wanting Schwarber in left along with his bat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think so too. The Cubs don't want Heyward at that price, but they can cost the Cards more money if they keep showing interest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eminor3rd Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 He makes more sense to the Cards then he does to the Cubs. I think the Cards or a mystery team get him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fathom Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 Scary thing to me isn't the Cubs getting him, but more that they then would then trade Soler and more for a starting pitcher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does Heyward going to the Cubs make them better overall than Davis going to STL, though? I think the Cubs are going to be very hard to beat. They were good before & have done nothing but get better this offseason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
