Teams are waiting for the OK to start bidding on Cespedes. There's still a feeling that Cespedes really doesn't want to go to Marlins.
he sited the reason being he didnt want to play in Miami. So looks like we are the favorites yuck.

What did Z do to the team over the years? What was so bad the he did? He won us a lot of ball games, I know that. .

The deal needs to be for 5-6 years and that'll spread out the $35MM or so they should invest (maximum) on Cespedes. Anything more and he'd need to be pretty damned good to justify it.

I agree it has a medium-risk/high-reward ceiling as Cespedes won't be getting paid super-stupid money. I just would like the Cubs to be prudent with their wallet here, but hey, it's not MY money

Default Yoenis Cespedes Granted Free Agency

Quote:
MLB has informed teams that Cuban outfielder Yoenis Cespedes is now a free agent, Ben Badler of Baseball America reports. Cespedes, a client of Adam Katz of Wasserman Media Group, recently gained residency in the Dominican Republic.

Earlier this week, it appeared that the Cubs, Marlins, and Tigers were the teams most actively targeting Cespedes. The White Sox, Orioles, Indians, Yankees, Phillies, Blue Jays and Rangers also appear to have some interest in Cespedes, but the Nationals aren’t involved.
Cubs get him?

I hope the Cubs don't pay more than $35MM so it'll only be a medium splash
