    ESPN's Jerry Crasnick reports that the Mets, Nationals, Dodgers, and Giants are all in on free agent Ben Zobrist.

    There are likely a few others too. Crasnick hears that Zobrist is visiting with teams on the East Coast right now before visiting the West Coast next week. He appears likely to make a decision during next week's Winter Meetings. Despite turning 35 next May, he's hoping to land a four-year contract.

    Initially JP took him to the rail, but then CK got pushed in there where they were giving Turner the business

    from that asshat saxon so fwiw
    keep in mind, walter was also the one who said pitchers eventually break...

    Mark Saxon ✓ ‏@markasaxon
    Magic Johnson said owner Mark Walter is involved in the Zack
    Greinke talks, which could indicate a more serious pursuit.
    9:27 AM - 2 Dec 2015

    The Los Angeles Dodgers' front office, led by Andrew Friedman, Farhan Zaidi and Josh Byrnes, has tended to take a dim view of mega-contracts for starting pitchers. All three, of course, come from smaller-market teams, but the philosophy transcends their history and is ultimately founded on a risk-reward analysis. Rarely do nine-figure deals work out well for the team that signs them, especially when the deals are for pitchers. [But] the fact that owner Mark Walter is [now] getting involved -- Friedman recommends a course of action and Walter makes the final call, advised by team president Stan Kasten -- could make it more likely the Dodgers will make a decision based on emotion and pay Zack Greinke the top dollar he is seeking. The number of years will be more important than the number of dollars. It would be surprising if the Dodgers go beyond five years (and somewhere in the range of $150 million), but if they do, chalk it up to Walter's guiding hand.    ​

    Makes sense.
    So many teams have interest.
    1st time hearing about the Dodgers interest tho
    Perhaps they wanted to stay out the mix when the pool like uh 20 teams deep
    4 year deal tho?

    Helpful reminder for spelling Rzepczynski's name correctly. It's M-A-R-C, not M-A-R-K.

    Yeah, it sounds like he wants 4 years/60 million. Sometimes I wonder if we should take rumors involving our name serious since I think a lot of people just throw our name out there because of our money.

    both had poor years
    any interest?
    • The Tigers will non-tender reliever Neftali Feliz, according to James Schmehl of MLive.com (via Twitter). He’ll join fellow right-handed reliever Al Alburquerque in reaching the open market rather than returning to Detroit via arbitration.

    I'd give Feliz a chance....he was pretty good with Texas for awhile, but i'm not sure what happened last year. Honeycutt can work his magic on him

    I really want Jason Heyward. If Zobrist wants 4 years just give 2B to Peraza or bring back Howie imo.
