The #Cubs get their man,
Yu Darvish, as expected. Signs 6-Year deal worth about $150 million per @Ken_Rosenthal— Bob Nightengale (@BNightengale) February 10, 2018
Darvish was acquired at the trade deadline by the Dodgers from the Texas Rangers. With the Dodgers he posted a 4-3 record in the regular season with a 3.44 ERA.
Los Angeles struggled to meet the length of the contract as well as the dollar signs which became a reason of concern since Darvish is 30-years of age.
