No link necessary: if you're a Cubs fan, you've already heard. I don't like the idea of it at all. Curious that this was released during Harper's free agency.

"A smart monkey doesn't monkey around with another monkey's monkey" - Darwin's Theory
I agree! Not mad at him for taking the 8 million and going elsewhere. But I thought he was a phenomenal piece added to our bullpen. Jesse Chavez glasses > Pedro Strop hat
"A smart monkey doesn't monkey around with another monkey's monkey" - Darwin's Theory
My only wonder is, he's historically not very good. But he definitely was a great addition to our pen and I'm sure Hickey was part of that development. With him gone, maybe Jed didn't see it as crucial to try to keep Chavez around. He is 35 after all. I don't know, just thinking out loud (or in print, rather). Glad we have Cishek for at least another year but we're definitely gonna need another bullpen arm to replace Chavez' role. I'm sure we'll pick up some guy with a 5.43 lifetime ERA like we've done the past two off-seasons and be told about "his numbers away from his old team's stadium."
And now we get rid of La Stella. I gotta say, I really wanted to get rid of him when he pulled his little stunt in 2016, but he more than made up for it the past two seasons. Ended up being a great guy to have on the bench. Broke the franchise record for pinch hits in a season this year.

I assume you mean Joe Ricketts. He has nothing to do with the team. Tom isn’t exactly a angel himself, but people need to stop associating Joe with the Cubs.

sounds a little like “this has nothing to do with the president.”

While [Joe] Ricketts is not directly involved in
the team's operations, his son, Tom Ricketts, is Cubs chairman and his three other children (Pete, Laura and Todd) are on the board of directors

Kyle Hendricks 4 year extension with option for 5th. $63M with incentives to earn up to $79.8M. Glad we go this guy on board for a few more years! Time to get Rizzo, Bryant, & Baez done as well.

I was ecstatic to see this signing. Maybe our most valuable rotation asset, given his age.
I cannot believe we’re alresdy seeing that kind of shit from Darvish and Edwards Jr again. I feel like I’m stuck in the twilight zone.
They’re both complete fucking headcases. Between the two of them they have the combined confidence of a squashed grape. One mistake and all hell breaks loose.

I’m trying to be level headed about this, but if outings like this continue I’m putting a fork in this guy (Darvish). He’s been garbage since he arrived in Chicago.

Darvish will go down as one of the BIGGEST FREE AGENT FLOPS in baseball history.

See what I did there?!? Man that's a bad loss 2 games into the season.

He is nothing but a fucking clown.
