The Cubs, as we all know, are looking for another starting pitcher, and one of their prime targets is Yu Darvish.
That target might have gotten a little more prime, according to John Harper of the New York Daily News:
What’s reasonable? Not seven years and $160 million, which sources say the Yankees never offered to Darvish, contrary to what Michael Kay said on his ESPN radio show on Thursday.
That might be Darvish’s asking price, but with teams throughout baseball determined to limit the length of long-term contracts, and the righthander coming off that poor World Series performance, the Yankees seem to think it’s possible they could get him for five years, $80-90 million.
