The Rundown: From Darvish Day to V-Day, Camp Officially Opens, Epstein Praises Arrieta

Happy Valentine’s Day, Cubs fans! I’ll let Matthew & Gunner share their love and affection while we get into it here.

Yu Darvish is spreading some love back to his former teammates, which is a nice way to start spring training.

Darvish told Dave Roberts he was signing with the Cubs and said to him "My main goal is to beat the Dodgers."

Gauntlet thrown. Clayton Kershaw immediately responded.

Usually that type of bulletin board fodder is reserved for the opening regular season contest between the two teams or a playoff game, but what the heck, I like the confidence from both players.
