The Rundown: Hoyer Has Many Paths to Acquire Pitching, Steele Seeking Healthy Season, Dodgers and Phillies Facing Elimination

“I can see, it took so long just to realize I’m much too strong not to compromise.” – Boston, Don’t Look Back

I enjoyed Evan’s article about Corbin Burnes, and I know a lot of Cub fans would love to see Jed Hoyer sign the former Brewer, but that’s probably not going to happen. Why? We know one thing to be true regarding Hoyer and free agency: Where there is smoke there is generally no fire.

Other, more obvious signs will eliminate the Cubs, including an asking price expected to greatly exceed $200 million.
