Lukewarm Stove: Haren, Cano, Tanaka, Navarro, Jones, McPherson, Abad
The Dodgers grab another starting pitcher, but it might not have a huge impact on the landscape.

Some more background on the guys you might not know as well.
If the Cubs are going to part with Samardzija now, it’ll be expensive. As it should be.
Each is about as good as a minor league free agent pitcher signing gets. Which is to say, not super sexy, but interesting.
There isn’t a timeline to “go for it,” and there is no frustration about a lack of money.
Cardinals making moves, Samardzija rumors, posting system hopes, a minor signing, and more.
They’re reportedly heading to the States to try and hammer out a deal. Masahiro Tanaka’s future hangs in the balance.
It’s a lot of money to commit to a recently-suspended player, but it’s a clear upgrade for the already-solid Cardinals.
Does Jed Hoyer think the Cubs messed up their All-Star shortstop? Nah. Come on, you didn’t really think he’d say that.
They may be trying to put together a package for Samardzija.
Not an unreasonable contract for a guy who was destined for the American League. So what does it mean for the Yankees’ spending plans?
The 29-year-old right-handed-hitter had a brutal 2013 season, but could be a platoon option.
Awesome both as a prospect, and as a young man giving back to his country.
Brandon Hyde is moving up from the farm to the bench, and Bill Mueller is indeed the new hitting coach. Still looking for a first base coach, though.
Bourjos used to be a light-hitting, defense-heavy center fielder. He’s now likely to hit 55 homers in 2014.
The Cubs were indeed in on Josh Johnson, which suggests they’ll have other mid-tier pitching targets.
Rosscup might be the Cubs’ top in-house lefty reliever option. He sure strikes out a hell of a lot of batters.
A lefty back-up catcher with a walk rate approaching 20%? That’s a dude worth a look.
From 104 reason to 105 reasons, since, you know, it’s now been 105 years. Also, check out an offer from Chris.
We may finally get a coaching staff announcement soon. Also, RIP to Michael Weiner.
The modifications to the plan include the further wall bump out, and a new sign in place of the abandoned pedestrian bridge.
Cano won’t go away until he signs. And that could be a while.
Jump on the offer, friends. They don’t come up as often as you might think.
Fernando Abad looks like a particularly interesting target for the Cubs.
The ridiculous drama takes another turn. The outcome of the hearing process means a lot to the Yankees, and maybe the market.
Wow. That came out of nowhere, and, if it goes down, it’s a huge deal.
