The Chicago Cubs’ Jake Arrieta had a spectacular run in Chicago. It seemed like only yesterday that we got the struggling Arrieta and Pedro Strop from the Baltimore Orioles. By the end of 2017, they were two of the better pitchers we had. Yes, Strop too. But all good things must come to an end, and with the signing of Yu Darvish, it indeed has. So we look back at what Arrieta meant to the Cubs, and why we’ll be grateful for what he’s done for the organization.
It was a tough first half for the Cubs’ Kyle Schwarber.
