National Harbor, Md. - The Giants are willing to go where no Giants team has gone before.
The pursuit of a closer is more expensive than ever, and Aroldis Chapman and Kenley Jensen are on the verge of breaking Jonathan Papelbon’s record for signing the biggest contract as a closer, $50 million, and Mark Melancon might join the party.
With the winter meetings opening Monday at the Gaylord National Resort & Convention Center, the Giants are hot and heavy in the closer’s sweepstakes and reportedly are in serious negotiations with Melancon, meaning they’re willing to spend unlike they ever spent on a closer.
