Chicago Cubs: Late in winter, will Jon Jay take a discount to return?

In what undoubtedly ranks as one of the slowest-moving offseason in baseball history, the Chicago Cubs still have moves to make. Somehow, a spot remains open in the starting rotation. The club could look for outside help both behind the dish and in the outfield before reporting to Mesa next month.

Enter free agent outfielder Jon Jay.

Jay, who turns 33 in March, is among what seems like an endless list of outfielders without a 2018 home. Lorenzo Cain, Carlos Gomez, Rajai Davis, Jarrod Dyson, Peter Bourjos and Austin Jackson headline that group along with Jay, who enjoyed a stellar 2017 campaign on the North Side.
