I thought there was a thread on this, but I couldn't find it

 

Brett hinted at this earlier

MLBTR had those pretty much pegged (at least, combined)

 

Cubs (8)

 

Clayton Richard (5.154) – $1.1MM

Chris Coghlan (5.148) – $3.9MM

Travis Wood (5.004) – $6.4MM

Pedro Strop (4.156) – $4.7MM

Jake Arrieta (4.145) – $10.4MM

Ryan Cook (3.086) – $1.4MM

Hector Rondon (3.000) – $3.6MM

Justin Grimm (2.170) – $1.0MM

The three most important relievers on the Cubs: Grimm, Strop and Rondon, will collectively cost them less than 10 million next year.

 

I can deal with that.

4.8 for Coghlan.

Very happy to see Coghlan back. Keep the heat on Soler to perform.

With such a large gap on Arrieta I wonder if that leads to a 2 year contract for him to buyout his arbitration years. I think they should just roll with the arbitration years but like a 2/$25 contract seems about fair for him.

There's very little reason for either side to be interested in that type of deal.

 

The midpoint between those offers is almost the MLBTR estimate exactly(10.4 million) so I'm a little surprised they didn't settle.
