Yep. Seems the only two teams thatwanted anything to do with Yu were Minny and Cubs.

Theo better thank his lucky stars he traded for Hamels. His Darvish/Chatwood off-season is historically bad.

Darvish needs to work out a retirement settlement and GTFO.


I wonder if they can sell him back to Japan. Despite this injury he is mentally wrecked from his awful performance in the playoffs last year. Take you money and go play for the Ham.

So this is all headed towards TJ surgery right ? So nothing from him next year either then he’s what,
32 ? coming off TJ and trying to be productive for 5 years after ? This is the Titanic happening right before our eyes

They might need another arm the next 6 weeks though Smyley is getting awfully close to a rehab assignment.

Along with Chatwood - historically bad signings. Zero ROI.

Theo is smart to have a player under cost control for the next six years

A pretty embarrassing signing. As for Bosio, didn't he do something dumb and get fired in Milwaukee or something?

I don't think it made sense to give Arrietta an insulting offer thus cutting off negotiation rather than playing them off of each other.

As the Tigers pitching coach, he called a clubhouse attendant a racial slur and got fired

The trail of bad money for Theo is a lot longer than the good money. Yu, Chatwood, Heyward, and E-Jax are 4 big misses.

Chatwood looked like a good signing..the rest looked bad at the time. Even Lester was a decent signing but most cub fans wanted Scherzer instead.. Max was clearly the better move.

all the cub fanboys in the media speculating that he will just retire and walk away from the last 100 or so million of that contract.

Good thoughts.

Why did it look like a good signing.

The entire basis of the contract seemed to be based on him not pitching at Coors with little recognition of the control problems.
