Wei-Yin Chen to the Marlins (5 yrs - $80M)

[Bahama O's Fan]

I don't seem to be hearing anything on him. Anyone else know if any teams are looking?

[weams]

I think it is the agent that teams are avoiding. That and the concerns after Chen having to be sent to A ball last year to get his groove back. There is talk about him ducking the big right handed bats from Toronto as well.

Are you simply making this up? Or are you trying to be funny? Cant tell.

He's had recently been linked to the Dodgers but two SP signings take them out.

Chen will sign a big contract in the next two weeks. He is one of the next in line.

Yeah but the question is with who. Not many suitors left, especially at his price tag. Unless it is with the Yankees.

Lefty handed starter. Someone will make room. 4 or 5 years. 17 to19m per year.

Last rumor I saw was Nationals.

My sense of humor.

[El Gordo]

It's the agent. Chen's a better pitcher than Leake, Gallardo, or Kazmir . He would have been signed by now, for more than they got, if Boras wasn't asking the moon. His clients are doing really well this off season.

'It's out of my hands.'

A bit premature to say that Bora's has misplayed his hand on his FA's this year.

He'll find them jobs with the Nationals I am certain. Not where some of the folks might have chose to end up if money were not the only object.

None of them are going to get what they are asking. And I bet at least one ends up screwed.

[section18]

The Yankees were interested early and then backed off when they heard the asking price. I believe Boras said 5 years and $100 million. They said No Thanks and then the Nationals were mentioned a few weeks ago. He'll probably get more than Kazmir who was overpaid. Probably 5 years for $85 million with NY.

[El Gordo]

Will Davis get a minimum of 7/150?

Will Chen get less than 4/68?

Chen was asking 5/100M. Davis won't, if the O's are smart enough to sign Cespedes.
