And not 1 top 10 prospect in return.

The Yu Darvish-to-the-Padres deal is on the verge of happening, sources tell ESPN. Darvish is expected to go with Victor Caratini to SD. Cubs' return is Zach Davies and four young prospects: OF Owen Caissie (18), SS Reggie Preciado (17), OF Ismael Mena (18), Yeison Santana (20).

Think this will be a good trade for Cubs long term getting some promising looking lotto tickets for someone they couldn’t have given away 18 months ago. Don’t see him repeating anything close to those 2020 numbers when he’s not feasting on those shite AL/NL central offenses every start. I know he started turning it around at the end of ‘19, but he isn’t anything close to Snell.

Wouldn’t be shocked at all if Davies is better next year.

I don’t expect to even get Keiboom in return.

Darvish is getting a great tour of American culture. You have to live differnt places awhile, not just visit.

Padres are loaded tho

Not a huge market for Yu either I’d suspect.

Santana sounds like he could be pretty good. Think this is a good deal for the Cubs even though the fans will hate it I’m sure

This was a sell off. Ricketts must've told Jed to unload salary. All those prospects are high risk, high upside type guys, and they're all teenagers. They won't see the big leagues for a few years if they pan out. Maybe there are more moves to come, but this is pretty disappointing. Seems like they're hitting the reset button.

Caissie, Preciado and Mena haven’t played a game in the pros yet. Tough to garner prospect love at that age without playing, especially international guys.

All have good size for being 17/18.

Yu is owed like $60 mil and was an utter disaster his first 50 starts with the Cubs. His return would’ve been putrid before last season

CJ Abrams would have been pretty sweet in this deal

I can't really hate it if the Padres take on a good portion of the $60 plus million owed to Darvish.

quote:

It’s unclear whether the Padres will take on all of Darvish’s remaining contract, but if they do, that’ll be $62MM on their books over the next three years. Caratini’s much more affordable, as he will earn a projected $1.2MM to $1.6MM in 2021. Caratini isn’t on track for free agency until after 2023.

I don't expect Darvish to repeat as he did in 2020 but being able to offload at least half his remaining contract would be nice.

Cubs will reportedly pay a “minor” portion of Yu’s contract

Seeing will be believing.

Also speaking of the fans hating this, just saw this:
