Dodgers fans don’t have the best memories associated with Yu Darvish. His performance in Game 7 of the 2017 World Series will forever be a dark spot in the history of LA sports. That can sort of be forgiven since it turns out the Astros were cheating everyone out of playoff games in 2017.
Darvish left the Dodgers with a sour taste, taking a $126 million contract from the Cubs for 6 years. In the third year of his contract, Darvish finally found his groove. He pitched to a 2.10 ERA and the lowest walk rate of his career.
