Fister is going to be interesting. rWAR OF 17 from 2011-2014 over four consecutive seasons.

Dave Cameron projects him at 1/$13 for 2016. Think that is high in terms of guarantee, but might get that in incentives if can pitch close to 200 innings.

One reason that Fister is interesting: he was so consistently good over that stretch and really good in post-season career.  Forearm issues in 2015 and velocity down, so who knows. Nats used him out of bullpen late and he looked much better.

Always a favorite of mine and bit of a model for Hendricks success.

I should have realized Bowden was the source for the syncing. Consider the Dodgers the favorites, but not a done deal.

Now Heyman says Iwakuma has a three year deal with the Dodgers.  He's more reliable than Bowden.

-KC signs Soria 3/$25 million. I would assume that knocks Holland out from coming back. I would really like to waste a 40 man spot on him.

-Stark is hearing from other clubs Dbacks are trying to trade for a starter. They may not have the money to sign a free agent.

Nightengale tweeted that the Royals believe the Cardinals are their main competitor for Alex Gordon.

The Marlins asked for Seagar and Urias for Fernandez.

I assume Gordon would be a fallback for the Cardinals, in case they can't sign Heyward?

I hope we stay away from the guys with the bad reps: Papelbon, Fernandez, Puig, Latos...

They may not be that in on Heyward. Rogers on ESPN Chicago posted the Cubs might be moving Castro/Montero to free up money for Heyward.

The Dodgers are getting Chapman for two prospects according to Rosenthal.

Dodgers reportedly plan to keep both Chapman and Jansen...that should be interesting...

Curious to see the two prospects...for only one year of control, I don't imagine it will be anyone in their top 3-4 (Seager, Urias, Deleon, etc)
