MILWAUKEE - Operation: Improve Yu Darvish's Image is in full effect.
The Cubs had their $126 million man in Milwaukee Tuesday, throwing a bullpen and meeting with the media as he tries to work his way back from a triceps issue onto a big-league mound to help this team toward a World Series.
Theo Epstein was in town for the Cubs wives/girlfriends charity softball game Tuesday afternoon and watched Darvish's bullpen closely along with manager Joe Maddon, pitching coach Jim Hickey and assistant GM Randy Bush.
All reports from the bullpen were overwhelmingly positive and Darvish even cracked a couple jokes as he met with a large contigent of Chicago media.
