12/8/2023 0 Comments Dodgers yu darvish tradeNow that’s transitioned to a list of 12 teams he can block deals to.ĭarvish had a similar no-trade clause in his Texas Rangers deal. He had a full no-trade clause through 2020 and told management he wouldn’t waive it. The Brewers and Cardinals don’t appear to be making any major moves.ĭarvish appears to like Chicago and his 2020 season was spectacularly good, with a second-place Cy Young Award finish. The Reds have lost some key parts to free agency and at one time this offseason were rumored to have put Sonny Gray on the market. The Pirates, after trading Josh Bell, are continuing in “What the heck are they doing?” mode and could easily be a 100-loss team. The NL Central is shaping up to be a fairly weak division. Meanwhile, the Cubs seem to be in a place where they’re going to try to squeeze one more contending season out of the current core before they re-tool (or “tank,” perhaps) after 2021. Adding a pitcher like Darvish could put them in a good place to compete with the Dodgers, though now that they’ve added Snell, their desire and/or need for Darvish might have lessened. My feeling? This is simply due diligence on the part of the Padres, who might be in position to be a strong contender in the NL West in 2021. Rangers asked for Walker Buehler in Yu Darvish trade back in 2017 For starters, the Dodgers dont win the 2020 World Series without Buehler, so thats the No. There was no mention of what might be sent to the Cubs in return for Darvish, how much of his contract might be picked up by San Diego - nothing. It’s not clear which team - Cubs or Padres - are the “sources” noted in the article, though since Acee is a Padres beat writer, that likely comes from San Diego. However, signals from team sources have been mixed on how far along those talks are. They have been in contact with the Cubs regarding starting pitcher Yu Darvish, who was runner-up in National League Cy Young voting this year. Meanwhile, Darvish is looking to cash in on a potential World Series. Here is the entirety of Acee’s note about Darvish: Its all about Yu Los Angeles Dodgers hope right-hander, Yu Darvish, is the final piece to a World Series victory this season. It’s not even the main focus of Acee’s article, which is headlined “Padres reportedly lose out on Japanese starter Kohei Arihara.” (In fact, that’s confirmed now Arihara signed with the Rangers.) That’s why this Yu Darvish trade rumor, noted by Kevin Acee in the San Diego Union-Tribune, needs at least a bit of an eyebrow raise. The Cubs have made only small moves, and it doesn’t seem likely any big trades or signings are going to happen for the North Siders before the 2021 season begins - whenever that happens. We are in the doldrums of a slow baseball offseason, though it got a bit busier Sunday evening when the Rays reportedly traded Blake Snell to the Padres for four prospects.
