JEFF SAMARDZIJA RUMORS

A Side Benefit of the Jeff Samardzija Blockbuster
I learned of the Jeff Samardzija trade at an Independence Day house party. That’s how long ago that deal took place, and most people have moved on. They’ve turned their attention to potential trades.

Giants showing serious interest in Samardzija?
It is readily apparent that the Chicago Cubs are going to deal 29-year-old staff ace Jeff Samardzija prior to the trade deadline late next month. He is set to become a free agent following the 2015 season and Chicago is looking more towards the future. Paying Samardzija ace money on a last place team, especially when he will be on the wrong side of 30, makes little sense for...
