Heyman said today he thinks the Cubs are the favorites for Harper.

He said to keep an eye on them moving money and he mentioned Heyward.

As has been said here before...remember that Heyman is often a mouthpiece for Boras in the media. Boras has every reason to try to convince the Dodgers (and White Sox and Phillies) that the Cubs are in the Harper market.

Boras is definitely playing chess rather than checkers here. He wants the Sox and Phillies convinced they have enough of a chance to drive up the price, even though Harper doesn’t plan on signing in either place.

He also wants the Dodgers convinced that another more desirable team than the White Sox or Phillies is an alternative.

You guys should let up.  Boras is a wonderful unselfish human being who just wants his clients to be happy.

No.  They should let up because Boras is doing his job, and is very good at it.

That's what I said.  There's not a greedy bone in the bastard's body.

I never said anything about Boras not doing his job - any criticism was implied by you, not me.

More Jon Heyman Retweeted Bruce Levine
Just to put this into context, I was ONLY answering a question about which of THESE 2 big market teams that may be lurking — dodgers or cubs — is more likely to sign harper. I suggested maybe cubs more likely than LA mostly based on the 2 teams’ recent history w/ big free agents

In other words, like just about everything "reported", it was pure speculation.

Bob Tewskbury apparently wrote a book about mental skills in baseball. He talked about his job on this Fangraphs Effectively Wild podcast from last April (interview starts at 41:04):
