Over the weekend, the Chicago Cubs bolstered their rotation by adding free agent Yu Darvish to their ranks. The Cubs, attached to a few arms including their own free agent Jake Arrieta , finished up a deal to lock up Darvish for six years on Saturday. Whether the length of the contract comes back to bite them, the Cubs got better and the St. Louis Cardinals didn’t.
Not exactly in response to the move, the St. Louis Cardinals added known “Cardinal killer” Bud Norris on a one year deal today.
