There were reports of a five-year contract that came over the top of the Cubs reported four-year deal. There were also rumors that the Dodgers if they cleared space, would have gone to six-years as well.

Now the hardest thing for the Cubs to do is figure out the rotation. Is it…

1. Jon Lester
2. Yu Darvish
3. Kyle Hendricks
4. Jose Quintana
5. Tyler Chatwood

or

1. Jon Lester
