If you read that introduction and are expecting me to say “don’t worry, the Cubs will sign Jake Arrieta”, this isn’t the article for you. I’m without a doubt a member of the party that wants to see the Cubs sign him to a long-term deal, but I fully understand the reasons why the team might be hesitant to do so. There are so many “pro” reasons to sign Arrieta, but one injury could derail all of that.
Two years ago I wrote about Scott Boras and his opinion that the Cubs weren’t spending enough. What a stunner that an agent would complain about such a thing.
