Henderson Alvarez being non tendered by the Marlins is much more interesting to me.
Would look great, potentially, on a Medlen-like deal. He might not be available until May or June after having shoulder surgery in July 2015, but he has two arb years left.
So... You sign him to a cheaper deal this year with an option for 2017 (wit guaranteed cash) might tip the balance
It's a gamble, but $4 million this year and 6 million next might be enough to get him to sign with you. And considering the price of mid-rotation starters, that could be a real bargain.
