In 5 years what is a #4 or #5 starter going to cost? 20M plus. I think the Cubs got a BIG bargain in getting Darvish.

His underlying stats have been showing significant regression for a couple years. He's a pumpkin waiting for midnight.

Think that would be obvious considering his meltdown during the pressures of the playoffs last yr.
The Contract has a after 3 years opt-out and a no trade clause (just like most have) So after 3 years of maybe middle of the road pitching the Cubs can just say good-bye to him. But who knows Joe now has his guy to work with his pitching staff so maybe this can be a great thing for the Cubs for years to come.
