“At first glance, this wouldn’t seem to make such a move especially more likely. GM Matt Klentak has previously suggested that the signing of Arrieta likely concluded his team’s offseason spending, and while Eickhoff was one of the team’s more reliable sources of innings, the injury is relatively short-term nature in nature.”

Yea I don't see how this makes PHI signing him more likely. He's going to miss two months at most.

So evidently the Nats signed Hellickson to a minor league deal with the intent of making him the 5th starter. Klentak basically ruled the Phillies out on Cobb. 

It sounds like Cobb's options are down to the Orioles and maybe the Brewers. 

Time to get this done Angelos!

No one wants him?  Another Gallardo/Ubaldo?  Stay tuned!

O's are waiting for Cobb to agree to pay them $10mm for the right to pitch for them next year.

And the Rangers, and the Yankees, and the Padres, and the Red Sox, and the Indians, and the Mariners.

Yeah. They had a whitewash apologists book out. 

Totally unfair comment about Charles Leerhsen's Ty Cobb: A Terrible Beauty -- especially if you haven't read it, as I'm guessing is the case.

With a team option for a second year at $12 million.
