MILWAUKEE -- The Brewers didn't land Yu Darvish, but they will see a lot of him in 2018 and beyond.
According to multiple reports Saturday, the Chicago Cubs were in agreement with Darvish on a six-year, $126 million contract pending a physical exam. The Cubs didn't immediately comment on the reports, but it appears Darvish chose Chicago over clubs including the Dodgers, Twins and Brewers, who reportedly made an offer in excess of $100 million.
It marked the second time in 6 1/2 months that Milwaukee's chief National League Central rival swooped in and snapped up a top starting pitcher from the Brewers.
