After signing core players Starlin Castro and Anthony Rizzo to long-term deals, it seems as though Jeff Samardzija is next in line with the Chicago Cubs.
Samardzija's agent Mark Rogers says there is nothing to report on a potential Samardzija deal at this point.
"It is not really important to me to tell the truth," he said. "I am the type of guy that his play speaks for itself. Most importantly you do the things you are supposed to do to win ballgames."
It was reported last November that the two sides had preliminary discussions about a three-year deal in the fall of 2012. At the time both parties agreed to talk in the future. Samardzija avoided his first year of arbitration and signed a one-year contract.
