Wise enough, or so distrustful of the Cubs, whether it be the perceived motive to hold back his arbitration award by limiting his chances to boost his numbers, or their longstanding inability to properly detect and/or treat pitcher injuries, that he had to go to somebody else? My concern would be that his agent is telling him the Cubs are hazardous to his health, and he should not trust them. The other is that he believes the Cubs are trying to screw him financially by not allowing him to profit from a couple more wins, several more strikeouts and a lower ERA, which a couple more starts could do for him by the time February rolls around. he's gonna get his money as long as he's healthy a few starts here or there are no big deal. He's gonna make #1 ace money no matter whether he plays or not this year.
