It seems so long ago, but there was a time when the Chicago Cubs were almost a guarantee to sign Alex Cobb. And then, they weren’t. After all of it, the Cubs pulled the trigger and signed Tyler Chatwood. And overall, Cubs’ fans seem much happier about him over Cobb. Cobb is a solid pitcher, and there wouldn’t have been anything wrong with getting him. But there’s something about Chatwood that has people intrigued.
The Cubs’ Jose Quintana would be considered a darkhorse candidate to win the Cy Young.
