Kyle Hendricks, Jon Lester and Yu Darvish have spent the past few weeks complimenting each other to within an inch of their lives.
The topic has been who will be the Cubs’ Opening Day starter, and each pitcher has publicly made a case for the other two. It has been very harmonious. If Telander and I could get along like this, there’s a decent chance world peace would be realized.
That Lester is even in the conversation to be on the mound come Opening Day in Milwaukee is an indication that the Cubs haven’t completed scrubbed Joe Maddon from their consciousness.
