The MLB hot stove season is going strong, and speculation is heating up across baseball. Here is what our writers are hearing today:
I've now heard from 3 teams in the last few days that Nationals want to deal both Papelbon & Storen, while chasing O'Day, Chapman & others
Stark's take: On the heels of Jerry Crasnick's report that Washington has strong interest in free-agent reliever Darren O'Day and rumblings that Aroldis Chapman is also on its radar, clubs who have talked to the Nationals say they're trying to remake the back of their bullpen by trading both of the men who closed for them last year, Jonathan Papelbon and Drew Storen.
