Really comes down to how he performs next two years, but to throw a team out there, I'll go ... Angels and Arte Moreno being unwilling to rebuild.

[Cubswin11]

Angels, Astros or Yankees

your back to back world series champion chicago cubs

This is just another Fowler situation where he'll show up out of nowhere.

[Brian]

Yeah I think the Cubs re-sign him at market value.

[UMFan83]

I am sort of ok with that although it's not ideal. My hope is that we have another 1/2 starter acquired/developed between now and the end of next year so it won't be devastating if we can't pull the trigger.

 

I still think Jake is angling for an extension and trying to play hardball by threatening to go on the open market.

The A's, who will trade him to us the following June.

[CubinNY]

Yeah, WTF. Let's just enjoy this and stop pissing on our joy parade.

Jake is too good to allow teams to bid for his services. He'll make MLB give him one of the new expansion franchises and he'll make his own team with blackjack and hookers!

in fact, forget the team and the blackjack.

 

eh, screw the whole thing.

I'd give Jake 5/130, take it or leave it. He'd leave it, and then I'd sign Yu Darvish.

 

Oh, and my money is on the Dodgers or Yankees signing him. Lets go with Dodgers.

Darvish is like 6 months younger than Arrieta.

[Bryants Disco Ball]

I figured all the talk of this by the baseball world would start next season. It feels sort of premature.

[badger]

I saw this title, and despite the fact it's in transactions, I initially thought (for a couple seconds)this was a joke at poster Jake after mopping up the Pirates over and over again...

Whaaaaat? I thought he was like 3 years younger. Well hell.
