The Chicago Cubs knew that a closer was a top priority this offseason. While the hope was that they would be able to sign Wade Davis, they were aware that might not be the case. After the Colorado Rockies signed him to a three-year, $52 million deal, it appears that Holland won’t fit into the Rockies plans. But will he get a deal anything like Davis?
It’s rumored that Holland set out to get a five-year deal, but that is unlikely to happen. Davis was the best closer available on the market and only signed a three-year contract.
