Theo Epstein joined NBC Sports Chicago's very own David Kaplan on his ESPN 1000 radio show speaking about the state of the Cubs with only two months to go before the season ends. First, Epstein addressed Darvish's promising rehab session today.
"Threw a really good side session, threw with some intensity especially towards the end of it," Epstein explained. "Came out feeling really good and looking forward to what’s next for him. Probably a sim game."
Kaplan squeezed Epstein, asking him whether he thought Darvish would be able to pitch and be impactful to the Cubs struggling rotation, who hasn't been able to pitch for the Major League club since May 20th.
