Imagine if the Cubs were able to get all of those players?

This is in regards to Hanley Ramirez I honestly hope we don't bring him back. The guy is a liability at SS and has a hard time staying healthy. No need to move him to 3B and displace Juan Uribe who had a hell of a season this year. I'd rather take a chance with Erisbel Arruebarrena or move Alex Guerrero back to his natural position of SS. We all know Corey Seager is coming soon. Otherwise Hanley comes back and plays SS for the year and moves to 3B the following (2016) season when Seager arrives.

Honestly I wouldn't blame him if he did hang it up. It sucks for him that he never got passed Arb to cash in, but I've never seen a catcher take such a beating as he has, at least from a foul tip frequency standpoint.

Orioles and Nick Markakis discussing a 4 year deal. Sides should come to an agreement fairly quickly according to reports.

Yeah the deal should be done within the next few days if not today. That's one the Tigers will miss out on. You guys have been linked to Colby Rasmus which is ideal as you guys need a CF and can move Rajai Davis back to LF. Chris Denorfia is also another option you guys have been linked too as well. (although he may end up in KC)

Free Agency starts in 2 days. Should be an exciting offseason.

Rumors: If the Giants don't re-sign Pablo Sandoval, Buster Posey may move to 3B next year.

Hate the length of the deal...hoping it's 4/32 or lower.

At first you think…what? Then you remember that Posey played SS in college. I don't know how he would do down there though because he hasn't played a position like that in 5 years.
