Some loopy stuff on that list. Don’t see the Cubs being
interested in Murphy, and why would they go after Britton and
not Miller? Hard to see why they wouldn’t be in on Ottavino as
well.

I think all of those "interested teams" are Duquette's
speculation.

Kintzler is exercising his option according to Jesse Rogers.

I wonder how many times Jerry Vasto is going to get claimed off
of waivers this winter.

I would guess a Vasto number.

I'm not surprised that the Hamels option decision is going down
to the deadline--I'm sure they're trying to get him to sign a
2-3 year deal. But I would've expected Strop's option to be
picked up at the same time Quintana's was...are they trying to
extend him too? That seems unlikely.

Why is that unlikely?

Because extending a reliever in his mid-30s a year before his
contract expires is a bad idea, even if he's been as
consistently good as Strop.
I guess it's possible they could work something out where he
gives them a big bargain. But that seems unlikely too--players
rarely give big hometown discounts when they don't need to.
