but i guess he's got options? maybe waiting to see if someone misses out on rodon?

The Cubs are closing in on a deal with Jameson Taillon, per source. @Ken_Rosenthal and @stephenjnesbitt were first to report that Chicago was making a push for the starter.
And responded to Phillies by signing Rodon??
The flip side argument to "Max and JV are only signed for 2 years" is.. they are only signed for 2 years..
Mets not exactly swimming with Top or rotation prospects...
I never thought Mets had serious interest in him as a third starter. I think they would only have given him 2/30 or something in that range. Looking for a bargain.
But where there is smoke, there is usually fire. And there were more and more reports about their interest. So glad he signed elsewhere.
But part of me thinks this front office wants to maintain some level of long term flexibility for Otani next offseason. Another 200+ million deal I think would potentially prohibit that. These short high amount ones should not hamper it too much.

Rodon should be their target.
