Goodbye Darvish, belated Goodbye Theo / "Hot" Stove Thread
Submitted by Charlie on Tue, 12/29/2020 - 12:26pmIf the departure of Theo Epstein in mid November was not a clear sign of things to come, today's trade of Yu Darvish certainly heralds the arrival of a rebuilding phase for the Chicago Cubs. It has been widely reported that the Cubs and Padres agreed on a deal sending Darvish and Caratini to sunny San Diego, fomer Brewer Zach Davies to the Cubs rotation, and two pairs of young shortstops and outfielders to Cubs' minor league facilities for years to come.
If 2020 were a baseball player, it would be Steve Garvey.
Submitted by CubbyBlue on Tue, 12/29/2020 - 10:31amYou know, the Padres have always sort of held a special place in my baseball heart.
They're that chunk of burnt fat off an Italian beef I got at some bar on Lincoln that stuck in my artery since I watched that Garvey homer in 1984.
You'd think it might be getting better after all these years, but now with this Yu Darvish trade to Garvey's old team to clear some money?
Tums won't help.
We knew change was coming, but whatever, man.
2020 sucks.
