Simple.
It will be a big bucks team in a big market with significant pieces, close to ready, to trade away.
Wasn't the number the Chicago's wanted before the July deadline last year "6 players"?
And now, in a barren SP market, with bidders breathing through their mouths?
Of course it is an attractive idea, and that's why Chicago will pull it's sox up.
No way M's go for a top of the rotation guy as they can't put up the ante to get into this arm.
4th or 5th, even a third SP?
Maybe.
Bat comes first.
Big name bat.
