“I’ve only heard of one of these five guys, and I don’t like him, very much.” I don’t know for certain, but for a few of you, that was probably the perception of the return the Cubs received for Yu Darvish and Victor Caratini in December 2020. At that point, it boils to trust. Did you, I ask rhetorically, trust Jed Hoyer to do an adequate job in trading two known pieces of the Cubs’ 2020 success? You had one or two data points, depending on if you included non-tendering Kyle Schwarber. Having a record to go by is important in baseball.
