The M's are going to non-tender Jose Lopez. His stats aren't great, but he can play 3B, SS, 2B, 1B and OF. He'll be cheap and could be a nice signing if the Cubs trade Ramirez, etc. I've a fan of him for a long time and wouldn't mind him on a cheap 1 year contrace. Maybe 3M, like he made last year. I think Hudson will command more and get more on the market.

Maybe the Cubs should go after Ian Desmond. The Nats could trade him for a young pitcher.

He has speed and can steal. Too bad he sucks at SS, maybe a 2B change could help. He also has good range and a good arm.

Chris Carpetner could get him. Maybe Wells.

That Nats want a start in exchange, Wells could maybe work. Also, maybe Gorzelanny.

Probably not. There's no one out there that fits the Cubs need more than Gonzo and that's it, really.

But there are big names out there:
Jose Reyes
Adrain Gonzalez
Juston Upton
Zack Greinke
Prince Fielder (maybe)
Carlos Beltran
The list continues...

Yea I think Gonzo is the missing piece . Reyes would play second if we got him though right? Fielder I wouldn't mind but he wants a big deal I heard.

Kinda. It seems they are going to go after guys who could have bounce back years (Pena), coming back from injury (Webb, Bedard) and a trade that could be a low risk--high reward (Davis).

He would plau 2B, but that trade wopn't happen because he wants a big contract. But it makes sense because the Cubs need a LEADOFF hitter. Fielder does...over 100M for now at least.

No way man. Are you sure it wasn't about FA Rafael Soriano?
