It's pretty hard to believe he didn't know exactly what he was
doing.

Right... But I think Dave was suggesting the possibility that
he'd agreed to a deal with Washington, but it hadn't gotten out
because of the MLB news blackout.

Re-sign Chavez and De La Rosa. Only if the price is right for
Justin Wilson.

Bring back Chavez (assuming reasonable cost), let the rest walk.
I'm willing to take a shot that Chavez's change to his release
point last year will produce sustainable results. I don't think
there was a similar change reported for De La Rosa, so I think
you let him walk.
It's still a couple of days until something has to be done about
Hamels' option. Hopefully they'll be able to come to an
agreement similar to Lackey's contract from a couple of years
ago.

Thanks, Deeg. I didn't mean to suggest that Boras was lying.
Merely that clubs are prohibited from making such agreements
official during the World Series. It might well be true, or it
might merely have been a publicity stunt by Boras.
Besides, if I understand ArizonaPhil correctly, no one becomes a
free agent until 5? days after the end of the World Series, so
nothing can be done officially until then anyway. One way or
the other, we will find out for sure in a few days.

He also has pitched for Milwaukee (2010-15) and Minnesota

Is there anyone who seriously thinks Kintzler won’t take that
option?

Jim Duquette has a top 25 Free Agents list on MLB.com, that
includes "interested" teams. According to Duquette, the Cubs
are "interested" in 9 of them.
