Jake Arrieta went to Seattle.

[Cubswin11]

I’d agree this is to get Darvish (or maybe Cobb) to move but if Jake wants to do the Dexter 2 year deal with a opt out after this year, like 2/42 with 19ish this year and a $6 mil buyout, I’d be cool with that.

 

i know this isn't the dexter deal you were referring to but man this just made me think of how dexter surprised re-upped with us in 16 and how horsefeathering cool that was

16 was so amazing but that’s still a top 5-7 moment for me easily

Not only did that, but did that then hit a leadoff homer in game 7 of the world series and made himself a lot more money in the process. Literally everybody won (except the orioles lol horsefeathers them)

 

Edit: Oh yeah and the contract he got will be something of an albatross to our division rivals as he ages.

Which reminds me I haven't watched game 7 yet in 2018.

Game 7, the last good thing that happened.

So why is this thread title still a thing?

Did he retroactively not go to Seattle or something?

 

 

I'mma be honest, I thought Derwood was gonna come in here and be like, "Dexter was on the 2015 team?"

It’s a misleading title in a transactions thread.

$20 says Derwood has been tricked at least 3 times seeing this thread bumped and thinking he is signing with the Mariners

[Cubswin11]

Nigthengale says we’d be comfortable going 4 years about $110 for Jake. FWIW. Doubt it’s true since Nightengale is a buffoon but $27.5 aav is tough to swallow, though the 4 years is nice.

Game 7, the last good thing that happened.

 

I just went back and watched the highlights from Cubs/Nats game 5 thinking maybe we had one good night, and jesus, what a disaster of a game that was. The biggest highlight was Davis K'ing Bryce to end it, but even that as this point doesn't do a whole lot with Davis off to Colorado and Harper a year away from taking over right field at Wrigley.

Derwood is one of those people getting into arguments in FB/article comments after reading only the click bait headline

He went to Seattle.

and he is Jake Arrieta

There. Happy now?

[David]

So apparently arrietas most interested suitors right now are the cardinals and cubs

 

I wasn't one of the people who hated him but I really don't want him back

[Brian]

Matt Carpenter and Dex v. Tommy, who wins Jake's heart?

[davell]

Considering who the rumored teams are that are serious about adding starting pitching, the Cubs honestly are the easy choice. They run the Free Agent market right now.

[Cubswin11]

Watching the 2016 WS thing on MLBN right now and it’s on Game 2 with Jake...... just thinking about resigning him if the offer/our value of Cobb is 3/42 I find it really hard to believe our offer/what we’d go to/what we value him at is 4/110 on Jake. Jake is better than Cobb but I doubt the FO values him at ~$13 mil more a year in AAV over Cobb. I’d guess our offer is more like 3/65-70 or 4/85-90 to Jake at the max.

[CubinNY]

I would like to have Jake pitching for the Cubs but I would like Darvish more. If we can’t get Darvish, get Jake.

[Bull]

Nothing is ever going to happen.

Didn't Caritini hit some minor league pitcher in the head last year or the year before with a comebacker and he had to have emergency surgery or something?
