Time for the D'Backs get on this but I'm sure there's competition. With Yelich being under control I wouldn't have a problem giving up prospects not named Duplantier/Smith. Obviously Pollock and a SP would be headed out.

I wonder if it’s to leverage against Moustakas or they are just on to Plan B?

Source: #STLCards remain involved in pursuit of Eric Hosmer, among other options to upgrade lineup. Cardinals also interested in third basemen, including Josh Donaldson in trade. Matt Carpenter’s versatility means Cardinals could add a 1B as easily as a 3B. @MLB @MLBNetwork

#STLCards, Scott Boras have numerous reasons to be in touch: Boras clients Eric Hosmer, Mike Moustakas, Greg Holland all possible fits for St. Louis roster. And we know from Stanton pursuit that Cardinals have capacity to add payroll where warranted. @MLB

Baseball's winter freeze has continued, but the Pirates are said by other teams to be active and making progress. As has been reported all winter, they've been discussing possible deals involving Andrew McCutchen, Gerrit Cole and Josh Harrison.

Report from @BNightengale, quoting persons close to Eric Hosmer, says #Royals have offered him 7 years, $147M while #Padres have offered 7 years, $140M. Whether Hosmer and Scott Boras jump at either number remains to be seen. Their goal likely is eight years and up; Hosmer is 28.

The Padres, as previously reported, have offered Eric Hosmer seven years, but I hear their bid is actually lower than $140 million.
