The Nationals are open for business? At least when it comes to Bryce Harper and his fellow free agents to be. The odds that GM Mike Rizzo pulls the trigger on a deal before 4:00 PM CDT are slim and none. Uniforms I would love to see him in: Cubs, A’s, Indians. Teams that should sacrifice their future for two months of a struggling star: Brewers, Yankees, Dodgers. But only if they promise to blow it in the postseason.
The Cubs and Marlins are kicking the tires on a deal for Brad Ziegler. Nothing is in place as of just before 1:00 AM and more than just the Cubs are asking about the 38 year old reliever.
