View image | gettyimages.comThe Cubs might not be the favorites in the David Price sweepstakes after all.
Among the most sought-after free agents on the market this offseason, Price is expected to sign a deal worth $200 million. But where?
Previous reports linked Price to the Cubs, citing his relationship with manager Joe Maddon, but the most recent updates suggest otherwise.
ESPN1000’s David Kaplan said in a series of tweets that not only does Toronto have the cash to sign Price, but the Blue Jays might also be his preferred destination.
Here are Cubs rumors I just talked about on @espn1000. Price might be heading back to Tor. $ might be too rich. Plus Tor might be his fav.

People that are surprised that Price likes Toronto may not realize support team gets + ownership group has huge $. Deal is far from done.
