LA is looking to unload Kemp and have been talking to Baltimore.
If the cubs really want Lester, they'll pay for him.

Dodgers are considering trading Zack Grienke which explains the Lester interest.

If the money is comparable - it's tough to compete with three teams that will be better than us. Only way I see him signing with us over SF, LA or Boston is we add a 7th year. Can't imagine why else he'd choose such a riskier situation. I love Lester but a 7-year deal at $24M/year is too much. That is a $168M deal. Paying him $24M when he's 37-38 sounds like a really bad idea to me.

My favorite teams
Why are they looking to trade Greinke?

He has an opt out after 2015 and they suspect he's going to use it. If they can sign a FA pitcher, or make a trade, this year he becomes expendable and might make unloading one of those outfield contracts easier in a package deal.

That's exactly the number they've been looking for and has been reported for weeks. It will be interesting if the Cubs even bother trying to top it, if it's real. Does 7/$170 get it done now?

I would go to 6/150 for Lester. Any more than that is a bit scary. Maybe $155 M but that's it

Yeah if I'm the Cubs I walk away if that's the Dodgers' offer. I'm yet to be convinced though.

I said at the beginning of this post that 6/160 gets him. Now, that could be 7 160 if they throw the extra year with options in (meaning the Cubs), but I still say that will be very close to the number.

Has anyone heard officially that the giants and or dodgers made an actual offer or has it all been speculations..
Ive been hearing that the agent been tossing it all out there hoping to get the cubs or redsox to bump up their offer

It would be incredibly stupid to pay Lester $170M over 7-years. If that is what it takes - we pass. We've methodically deconstructed the entire organization from top to bottom and no way do we blow our load on an idiotic deal like that. Paying Lester $24M/year at age 38 is crazy.
If LA offered $160M over 6 years - I'm not even sure I'd match that. I'd probably do 6-years and $145M. There comes a point when you walk away and move on to the next target.

I had a dream last night that he signed with the Dodgers. This was before I read the Dodger rumors. Weird.
