At long last, one of the prospects involved in that deal will make his big-league debut for Chicago.
On the heels of a fan-less, shortened 2020 season, Chicago Cubs ownership went into cost-cutting mode and the biggest chunk of change it could move was NL Cy Young runner-up Yu Darvish and the nearly $60 million left on his deal.
The veteran right-hander was lights-out that year, tying for the NL lead with eight wins and pitching to a 2.01 ERA across a dozen starts.
