“We need [David] Price to beat the Mets” and “The Cubs are being cheap” are the statements that caught my eye, to which I say: No and No
Why was it assumed that Theo Epstein and Jed Hoyer would aggressively pursue one of the four (now three as Jordan Zimmerman agreed to terms with the Tigers) stud pitchers on the market?
