There are plenty of highlights to pick out from Jake Arrieta’s Cubs career. So, what stands out to Cubs manager David Ross, who played with him and served as his manager?
“That one time he was awesome, like that entire year,” Ross said.
That’s hard to forget.
In the wake of Arrieta announcing his retirement, Ross and Cubs president of baseball operations Jed Hoyer shared memories of the former Cubs pitcher on Tuesday.
Arrieta spent two stints with the Cubs. The latter was a failed reunion in which he posted a 6.88 ERA last season, before the Cubs released him last August.
