Jake Arrieta Comments on Steroid Allegations, Future with Cubs and More

Chicago Cubs ace Jake Arrieta has throttled into a sphere of superstardom following a few mundane seasons with the Baltimore Orioles, but the 2015 National League Cy Young Award winner is sick of anonymous claims that he's been aided by the use of performance-enhancing drugs.

In an interview with USA Today's Bob Nightengale published Tuesday, Arrieta said he's heard the criticism lobbed his way ever since he started fanning batters like one of the league's best.

"I've heard players, and I’m talking about some of the best players in the league question whether I’ve taken steroids or not," Arrieta said.
