There it is. The Cubs finally made their big move for the off season. It should shock absolutely no one that move was for pitching. Almost every move the Cubs made this off season was about acquiring pitching. By signing Yu Darvish to a 6 year/$126 million deal ($150 million with incentives), the Cubs have locked up a formidable top of their rotation in Darvish, Jose Quintana, Jon Lester and Kyle Hendricks. They’re pitching talent is much deeper this year as well, rounding out the rotation with Tyler Chatwood.
