Jon Heyman released his top 80 free agents today with predictions by both him and an "expert," who is apparently pretty good at predicting contracts. Here is the full article:
https://www.fanragsports.com/inside-baseball-how-much-will-the-top-80-free-agents-get/The relief market looks good and affordable, no reason to go after Davis:
Wade Davis: Expert: 4/$64; Heyman: 4/$72
Addison Reed: Expert: 4/$35; Heyman: 3/$27
Jake McGee: Expert: 2/$15; Heyman: 2/$12
Bryan Shaw: Expert: 2/$12; Heyman: 3/$24
Juan Nicasio: Expert: 2/$14; Heyman: 2/$12
Anthony Swarzak: Expert: 4/$28; Heyman: 3/$21
Brandon Morrow: Expert: 3/$23; Heyman: 3/$24
Lots of options, and this doesn't even include guys like Neshek, Minor, and Watson. If those prices are fairly accurate, I'd love to see the Cubs get McGee, Reed, and either Shaw or Nicasio for a total of about $21 million per year. In fact, at those prices, I'd be disappointed if the Cubs didn't end up with at least McGee and Shaw/Nicasio.
