I think the Rangers have a real shot, personally. My #2 dark horse after the Angels.
mlbtraderumors.com predicted a $20/3 contract for Chatwood.The chances of Chatwood signing for that little is zero. Not 0.00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001%. Zero.He'll get closer to $50 than $20. I want to say closer to $100 than $20, but I'm not quite that brave.
Well, I suppose if you cast a wide enough net you'll find someone who considers themselves an expert predict pretty much every possible FA signing. I just don't recall any of the bigger names predicting Cain or Darvish to the Cubs. And with good reason, because I don't think there's much chance either is going to happen.
Curt - Not to nitpick, but in my quick skimming of those articles none of them seem to "predict" the Cubs end up with Darvish. Rather they tend to make a case for why the Cubs "need" or match up with Darvish. I would be shocked if they sign Darvish, or even give a serious effort to do so.
I think Theo and Maddon have the best chance of persuading him.
