The Rundown: Hoyer Cornering Market on Reclamation Starters, Pederson Agrees to Cubs Deal, Cards Kicking Tires on Arenado

“To die, to sleep – to sleep, perchance to dream – ay, there’s the rub, for in this sleep of death what dreams may come…” – William Shakespeare

Cubs president of baseball operations and acting GM Jed Hoyer is doing a heckuva job collecting starting pitchers whose most recent earned averages sit north of six runs per game.
