"I haven't decided yet," Darvish said. "I have to talk to my family and agent, too. My kids and my wife love Chicago, especially the kids. They only care about the Cubbies. So, I don't think [i will opt out]."

 

The many times spurned by professional athletes Chicago sports fan in me recognizes those as quotes like what I hear before they go elsewhere. But honestly with the past two offseasons his agent has to realize he's probably not getting better than what's left on that contract.

He seems like a guy who values comfort and familiarity over finding the most money, not that I think he gets much more money if he opts out. I think short of the Rangers back channeling him before the opt out date to tell him they want him back and will give him a decent contract I don’t think he’s leaving. He seems to finally have gotten familiar and comfortable here and outside of Texas I don’t think he’d feel the same anywhere else/want to go through the whole getting familiar/comfortable thing again somewhere else.

I don't think there is a single pitcher in MLB who would be harmed more by sign stealing than the pitcher who can throw 13 different pitches or whatever insane number it is.

 

as if Willson can actually keep track of all the signs himself

WIthout looking it up, I'm fairly certain Willson wasn't catching Yu against the Astros in the 2017 World Series.
