That's a lot of money, but he is a heck of a pitcher.

Daaaaaaaamn. 21 M a year guaranteed. Could be a big steal for CHC.

1. Darvish
2. Lester
3. Quintana
4. Hendricks
5. Chatwood

Smyly and Montgomery as depth.

You know who will be talking smack all spring and summer.

Geez he waited all winter on that deal to magically go up? Or did the Cubs actually up it last minute?

I read that the Dodgers were in it until the very end. I guess the money was similar if that’s the case.

Kinda sucks the Dodgers couldn't re-sign him, but at the same time, f*** him for tipping his pitches in the World Series.

Looks like the rumors of Theo blowing past the luxury tax next year just might be true.

Cubs now have as solid a rotation in all of baseball, the best young infield in baseball, a better bullpen from last year, ah, this is a great time to be a Cubs fan.

Sorry Brewers fans if the wind just got let out the sails. You really nice team still.

omg hes back!!

 

[hockeykicker]

sounds like opt out after 2 years

 

[darko]

Very good deal.

Surprised he didn't go back to LA.

 

[BGDDYKWL]

I like this deal for the Cubs. Seems like he's been on a steady decline for years now, but he'd still be considered a 1 or 1a and 20mil a year is pretty reasonable for that. Gonna suck to see Arrieta go though. I liked him a lot.

The only knock on Darvish is durability. Pitched over 200 in a season only once. When he's on he's one of the best pitchers in the game. Excellent pick up.

God I hope not.

 

[GIN ANTONIC]

I like Darvish a lot. Good pitcher and seems like a great guy. Having said that I hope he flames out in spectacular fashion

 

[IslesFan2017]

The Cubs rotation is pretty stacked, but does this all but guarantee that Arrieta won't be back with the Cubs?

I mean I guess they could sign him but that would be pretty bonkers since they already have 5 starters with Darvish, Lester, Quintana, Hendricks, Chatwood. Signing Arrieta would be pretty overkill at this point.

Yet people on the MB who dont follow baseball assume thats gonna happen since apparently 3 teams buy up all the free agents every year
