Greinke, Cespedes, Gordon, Price, Heyward, Cuetto, Zobrist.

Who else am I forgetting and where do these guys land? I figure this is a much better place to grab news around the league. I can barely handle watching Sportscenter these days and I've turned off MLB network for the off season.

I think the Braves might be in play for one of the pitchers. I think they want to start building a little momentum heading into the new ballpark the year after next.

I feel that Heyward will either stay a Cardinal or I think Boston will chase him. Fenway is very lefty friendly with the short porch in right. He also has the green monster out in left which will be good to him as well.

Do the Mets have the cash to get Ces?

I thought the lean on Greinke was he wants out? Or he just wants a crap ton more money I'm assuming?

I appreciate the info guys, Would rather avoid googling details on 15 FAs when you guys know your teams.

I'm torn on what I want the Royals to do with Gordon. Love him and his glove but not sure he's worth the $$$s that we could spend elsewhere.

Need another guy in the rotation and probably a 2nd basemen. Zobrist made this team beastly after we signed him. hate losing him.

Price will end up a Cubbie or a yankee
Greinke is the wildcard to me.. probably stays in LA as I he likes being the no.2

All I want is Houston to land Zimmerman and/or Storen.

Or both.

Do they have the cash? When do their young bucks come up for FA/arb?

I know most of them are making pennies right now.

I think Zimmermann to the Cubs is a thing. Unless they go with trading one of the middle infielders for young, controlled pitching. Like Castro for de Grom, or something like that.

They've said they'll be increasing payroll again. We will see how much that really is. We obviously need bullpen help and I would personally love to have a corner OF or DH/1B who's a higher average lower strikeout guy. I think Ben Zobrist would be a perfect fit for this since he could play LF and play a little 1B or DH and his approach at the plate is really what we need IMO

I could see both David Price and Ben Zobrist to the Cubs because of the connection with Joe Maddon in Tampa Bay

I don't see Price in the NL at all. I think he may sign in Boston or one of the West teams. If the Rangers are willing to go big that rotation will be very good, especially top 3 of Darvish, Hamels, and Price.

3 100mil pitchers is unlikely.
