Wood will be expensive for the Cubs, but I like him in the pen and for a spot start.

Sort of like Holland for the Dodgers. Possible 2017 closer if he is healthy and if Jansen departs in F/A.

Boras on Alvarez: ” And he’s done it in a ballpark (PNC Park) that’s very tough on left-handed hitters.” UH? PNC has the short right field, tailored for left handed power hitters. “PNC is tough on left hand hitters who can’t hit left handed pitching”, should have been the quote.

“He has a history of driving in Andrew McCutchen, who is always on base.”
FIXED.

You have to love Boras. Alvarez is what he is, a low average low OBP power hitter who pretty much has to go to an AL team. But it’s a win-win argument for Boras. Either he’s tendered, and make big bucks, or Boras gets to peddle him as a FA, and he gets more for all that “extraordinary power”

I will be incensed if the Marlins non tender Henderson Alvarez over $4 million, and then let him become a free agent. If you don’t think he’ll pitch in 2016, at least try to avoid arbitration with a deal that would cover next year’s arbitration as well. We can’t afford to lose him for nothing, especially with all of the other important pieces we’ve lost or given away for nothing over the last year and a half, and the plans to do the same with Marcell Ozuna

I couldn’t believe that when I saw it. Isn’t he supposed to be back in May?

I had heard June, but recent reports say the Marlins have some worry that he won’t be able to contribute much to 2016. That doesn’t mean they should outright non tender him though

Mets still keeping Mejia ?
Figures.
