Yu Darvish was acquired before the 2021 season to be an ace for the San Diego Padres. He had a great first half of the season last year but dealt with a back injury that prevented him from finishing strong. This year though, it was different. Darvish wasn’t an All-Star but he was as consistent as can be.
