Ben Zobrist has a four-year, $80 million offer on the table. The #Mets still considered favorites to ultimately land him.

That is a lot of money...

From ESPN:
MLB Winter Meetings Daily: Dodgers' Jansen 'crushed' over potential Chapman deal?

The MLB winter meetings are on, and a source says Kenley Jansen isn't happy about a possible two-closer setup in L.A. Here is what our writers are hearing in Nashville.

Pedro Gomez ‏@pedrogomezESPN  2m2 minutes ago
Hearing the @SFGiants are hot for Alex Gordon. @Royals won't be able to keep up with the money Gordon is hearing.

Initial #Mets reaction to reports Zobrist has 4 yr-$80M offer: 1) doubt. 2) if he has it, not from them, and he should take it.

Gomez says Zobrist looking for 4/$60.

Hearing Rangers have neither funds nor interest level to make serious run at Japan's Kenta Maeda, who is about to be posted.

Dusty on A.Chapman reports: "Who's to say if the allegations are true? And who's to say what causes problems? ... He's a heck of a guy."

Zobrist is discussing with his wife now. Should have decision soon. Possibly tonight, agent just told me. #Mets

Once Zobrist signs that should kick some things into gear for position players.

Reports are SD drawing major interest in James Shields. Which seems odd:he cleared waivers in Aug. when he could've been claimed for nothing

Wow, Dusty might not be holding on to that managerial job for much longer.

Oh Dusty

What specifically have you told the front office you’d like that you don’t have yet?

“You’re always in need of left-handed pitching, left-handed hitting, and in need of speed. I think that’s the No. 1 thing that’s missing, I think, in the game is speed. You know, with the need for minorities, you can help yourself. You’ve got a better chance of getting some speed with Latin and African-Americans. I’m not being racist. That’s just how it is.”

Dusty's post-game pressers are going to be a lot more interesting than the incredibly boring Matt Williams pressers.
