Cubs sign James Shields for 3 years 56 million.
Sign Ross and Gomes with team friendly deals.
Trade Wellington Castillo, Albert Almora and CJ Edwards to ATL for Justin Upton
1.) Shields is definitely going to get 5 years and about 85-95 million.
2.) It's still the same $ per year for Shields just less commitment time wise. Smarter for Cubs. Could throw in a 4th year option for 17m extra to entice him but I wouldn't want to sign him for anything longer than 4 years. Otherwise I'd trade a some young talent for Jordan Zimmerman.
3.) Originally Shields definitely would want at least 5 years but I can see now him taking less time and jumping on the Cubs bandwagon. Hey, It could be like the NBA players all joining one team and taking pay cuts to try to win. Why not in Baseball? LOL
I hope they don't sign Gomes but if they sign Ross I can see them trading away Castillo. I hope they get Upton but I don't know if I want them to give up Edwards in the deal although I am sure that deal is pretty close to fair.

After the deal Lester just signed, you think Shields is going to sign for that?
5.) I would love for all that to happen, but Ross and Gomes are the only one likely to happen with those premises. Shields at a discount still might take a contract of 4yrs 80 mil with an option for a 5th yr. The Upton trade would probably take another good prospect to get ATL to bite.

Alright, here's is a outlook on the Cubs offseason.
Sign Joe Maddon at Manager - Renteria moves to bench coach
Sign Lester
Sign Scherzer or Deal Almora+ for Cole Hamels
Trade Edwin Jackson to the Yankees for comp picks or low level prospects
Cubs make the playoffs after calling up Bryant.
1.) Phillies are going to get Betts from boston for cole, unless they get a haul from the cubs, he's going to boston
2.) Yea the Yankees aren't dumb and won't take the contract of Jackson. He would have an even higher ERA in New York. They know it. If and when Jackson gets traded it will probably be for BJ Upton, bad contract for bad contract.
3.) ^The Red Sox will not trade Betts for Hamels
4.) Almora, C. J. Edwards, Alcantara, Vogelbach for Hamels, Ben Revere, and $
5.) BTW the Edwin Jackson trade to the Yankees. Yankees don't have comp picks.

Cubs-Orioles
Cubs get : Gausman and Bundy
O's get : Jeff Samardzija
1.) Way too much to give up the O's
2.) Just looked, this is actually a trade some analysts are putting out there if the O's want Jeff.
3.) I could see it being more like Bundy and Hunter Harvey as a player to be names later. Same potential at gausman but more risk.
4.) I think this is the trade that would solitfy the Cubs rebuilding process. They'd have the pitching they need to got with Coleman. And the bats in the minors would soon be called up!
