I will leave the board if they sign that piece of dogshit.

Might want to get with Panther too, he will need to learn the technique of leaving the board and coming back.

Shark will be a better 4th starter than most teams have. He should be able to win at least 10 games with this Cubs team.

Still don't believe it, It would be really dumb if it happens.. Epstein dodged a bullet when his 5-75 offer was declined..I can't see Epstein being dumb enough to revisit any deal with this loser.

Maybe Shark is the backup plan if they can't sign one of the big names. 1 year $20 mil? Why not?

Because he sucks? Should've taken a flier on Rich Hill for 6 million instead.

Shark loves Chicago, and Theo loves Shark. Maybe he gets 3 years $50 million?

2@20 and Shark tries again. Might happen. Bet the long haired country boy is back for less cause his big payday went bye bye with the shit Sox deal.

Wrong SECTION.


Shark as a closer?! :lol: His ERA in the first inning this year was like 5 or 6.

Closers typically pitch in the 9th.

Yeah that was a weird response.

Sammy has been basically a .500 pitcher if you throw the fact that he pitched for some bad teams in the past and it adversely affected his win/ loss totals. signing him would be a bad idea. He's going to get more than he's worth. He's a good comp to Edwin Jackson before he signed actually.....throws hard, can throw 200 innings and is inconsistent as hell. No thanks. Throws as many bad/ awful/ hideous games as good ones. Hendricks can give them .500 and innings at a much lower cost.

They are going to regret that move. There is no way he's an $18 million a year pitcher.

I'd be surprised if he ended up back with the Cubs. He hasn't been shy about wanting to get the possible deal in free agency, and he's there now. Although he's coming off a bad year, and a 1 year deal could help him get back some money he made have lost, there is still going to be a strong market for him and a lot of teams love his mentality and think this year was a fluke. I think he gets 4 or 5 years at 16-18 a season, and I wouldn't be surprised if it goes to the higher end.


Damn, off by a million a year.

5 years at $18M a season is $90M.

Price, Greinke & Shark all signed contracts that were way way too much. I don't blame the Cubs for not paying any if these guys. Hell, they won 97 games last year without these 3 guys & I like the Lackey signing.

Despite starter Jeff Samardzija‘s immense struggles with the White Sox this past season, the Giants still elected to sign the right-hander to a five-year, $90 million contract earlier this week. They’re betting on the veteran hurler benefiting from a change in parks and defenses, but they’re also hoping Samardzija can figure out what went wrong and make adjustments.

It sounds like Samardzija has a diagnosis: tipped pitches, according to CSN Bay Area’s Alex Pavlovic.

“When you’re tipping your pitches it’s hard to have a ton of success out there,” Samardzija said in an introductory press conference at AT&T Park. “Everyone has got a ton of film on you. Hours and hours and years and years, and you need to stay ahead of that. If anything it just made me realize that you do always have to stay on top of little things like that, how long you’re holding the ball when you’re set, how long you’re holding it when you’re throwing a slider, when you’re throwing a splitter.

“Where are you looking when there’s a runner on first? Are you checking on him or going home? That’s the aspect of this game that’s so great, is you can always get better. What’s pushing you is the competition, and there’s always someone watching you to try and find that hole that you have.”

Samardzija, who turns 31 years old in January, finished this past season with a 4.96 ERA and a 163/49 K/BB ratio in 214 innings. He led baseball in hits allowed (228) and earned runs (118) while leading the American League in home runs allowed (29). His strikeout rate, 17.9 percent, was his lowest since becoming a starter in 2012.

How did the greatest pitching coach in baseball miss him tipping pitches?
