It doesn't mean a deal's ever going to be worked out though. It's just something teams do to keep possibilities open. "More on this to come, but as much as I love Harden he is what is considered a “Type A” free agent. Although I am unclear on what that means exactly, I believe that we would be receiving some first-round picks if a deal is worked out." We were going to end up getting a couple of draft picks when he signs elsewhere, but not if he's traded now. So, the only way he's going anywhere is if the Cubs get a premium prospect or two in return. Most likely, nothing happens there. Heilman on the other hand could very well be headed somewhere else.
