Nothing is signed yet, but as others have mentioned, we almost never hear of Theo & Co’s specific moves as they unfold, and it’s very rare for a player to telegraph so publicly his positive meeting with a suitor team. Sure feels like this could happen...
If you had told me at the start of the offseason that the Cubs would sign Darvish, Chatwood, Morrow, and Smyly, I’d have said no way. You could have substituted Cobb for Darvish and I’d have been thrilled with that list. But a rotation of Darvish, Lester, Quintana, Hendricks, Chatwood... wow.
