Jake Arrieta's market is apparently heating up.
A source close to Arrieta told
Gordon Wittenmyer of the Chicago Sun-Times that the free-agent right-hander is sitting on offers from six different teams that are said to be "overpay(s)" in terms of annual values.
The
Chicago Cubs - the team with which Arrieta became a star over the past four-plus seasons - along with two other NL Central clubs,
the St. Louis Cardinals and
Milwaukee Brewers, have all reportedly offered deals to the 31-year-old former Cy Young winner, according to Wittenmyer.
Chicago
reportedly offered Arrieta a four-year deal worth $110 million earlier this month. It's unknown what offers have been made by either Milwaukee or St. Louis, or the identities of the other three teams.
