Jorge López Joins Nats, Tanner Scott’s Prohibitive Asking Price, International Prospect Flips from Dodgers to Pirates

The Cubs signing Colin Rea should have given me enough to write about for at least three days, but I’m going against my better judgment to cover two other topics that are only tangential to our namesake club. That’s because, monster Rea deal aside, Jed Hoyer hasn’t really done much lately. And depending on how you choose to interpret the latter topic, one very splashy potential move may have gotten far less likely.

First up is Jorge López, the righty reliever who rebuilt his value with the Cubs down the stretch after being drummed out of Flushing following an implosion with the Mets.
