Talking to a friend (Cubs fan) he doesn't see how the Cubs or any of his potential suitors would afford him or even target him as a signing. He felt it made most sense for him to stay in DC for $20-25 million a year. I don't know. I think there's a chance he comes back and don't think there was ever a real scenario where we lock him up last winter. Boras wouldn't sacrifice a potential MVP hitting the open market.
I mean if his client told him to he would, didn't Jered Weaver forego free agency and sign back with the Angels?
