08:12 AM ET 12.20 | The Ohio connection isn't there, but Cleveland has more on its radar than Nick Swisher. The Indians also are making a run at right-hander Edwin Jackson, but probably cannot sign both him and Swisher, according to major-league sources. The Cubs also are strongly in the mix for Jackson, who is expected to command a deal of at least four years, sources say. Swisher, too, is likely to sign for at least four years. The Indians showed earlier this offseason that they are willing to go to that length with a free agent, offering outfielder Shane Victorino a four-year, $44 million deal. Jackson, 29, would add durability and consistency to the Indians' rotation -- and perhaps give the team the flexibility to trade another of its starters.

How does Jackson command a four year deal for 13 mil per year when last year no one would even bother to take him beyond one year at 11 mil? Especially after he had a better year in 2011? Sad days indeed

Beyond me especially since the Cubs aren't in a position to even make the playoffs within the next few seasons.

Well, they have money to spend, and more pitching is always a plus. At least he is capable of eating up innings and should be a reliable third starter. They have to sign someone. They have too much money to spend not to.

Morales was expendable. Vargas is pretty solid. Both teams will benefit.
