The MLB hot stove season is going strong, and speculation is heating up across baseball. Here is what our writers are hearing today:
Forget the theory that Jeff Samardzija will be the bargain of the offseason. Teams talking with him say he's claiming to have $100M on table

Stark's take: Clubs speaking with Samardzija and his agent, Adam Katz, are laughing at the rumblings that he can be had for something like $65 million for four years or $80 million for five. Samardzija figures to get less than the $110 million for five years that Jordan Zimmermann got from Detroit.
