Now they are updating it saying those are just teams he's considering ... not finalists ? Basically he's picked a coast but he's leaving the door open for the Mets and Phillies.
So Phil Maton was the head addition to the bullpen this offseason? Not much left.

With Diaz signed those Skubal reports out of LA late last night seem a little more real. I'm not counting the Dodgers out on Tucker or Bellinger either.
Bob is likely right but a day early on the announcement. I don't hate Gallen it's losing the draft pick and IFA space on top of paying market rate for SP that sucks.
I think the Cubs had a run the last few months on late signings and needed some of this money from the trade to cover that . Jamis Martinez is signing in next years class with the Cubs so it's not going towards him.
If you're trying to even maintain last seasons offensive output they have to upgrade at third base allowing Shaw to be a super sub. In no order these are some options available for just cash this offseason.
