There is no easy way to put this as a Rockies fan, so let’s just rip off the band-aid: Blake Snell and Yu Darvish play for the Padres now.
News broke early Monday morning that Snell, the 2018 American League Cy Young winner, was joining the National League West. News broke Monday evening that four-time All-Star (and two-time Cy Young runner-up) Yu Darvish was joining him. The acquisitions come just months after the Padres made a huge competitive statement at the 2020 trade deadline, sparing no expense for premier talent.
