Positives From This Season

There were definitely times where Yu Darvish looked like the Yu Darvish we saw a lot last season. There were plenty of outings where he went 6 or 7 innings, as the 37-year-old started 11 games where he went six or more innings and allowed two or fewer earned runs.

Negatives From This Season

He just wasn’t as consistently dominant as he and the Padres were expecting him to be fresh off of receiving what now seems like a questionable six-year extension worth north of $100 million.
