The Pirates should be in on him.
Vedder80
Too expensive for their taste. They tend to sign players with more red flags, but potential upside as free agents and hope they can fix them.
bravesfan1998
Like who
PixelMelonz
Volquez, Liriano, Morton, the list goes on. Some are hits and some are big busts.
costergaard2
Most are hits, look at Nova…
24TheKid
I feel like he can only pitch well with the Cubs so I whatever team signs him better not be expecting an era below 4
stryk3istrukuout
tend to agree, but I think he can do catch lightning in a bottle on another team in the right situation
misterb71
I guess somebody isn’t too happy about the way he’s being marketed around the league. I can’t imagine too many players switch agents after they’ve hit the open market and have been available for almost a month and a half.
Chefno2
surely comes across that way
SimplyAmazin91
I feel Yankees are a logical landing spot, maybe rangers?
impaler
He’ll get crushed in the AL. Especially in the East. I would say the Marlins would be a better landing spot for him.
AddisonStreet
Like when he was an Oriole and A?
stryk3istrukuout
Yankees, I agree, but not if they are as broke as they say they are.
bravesfan1998
Yankees broke yeah I must be dreaming

No cub pitcher is going to have as good as season as they had last year.
impaler
They still face the Pirates and Reds 38 times. Last year that was a combined 29 wins. So the pitchers will still get nice ballooned stats from this.
comebacktrail28
What about Brewers
lesterdnightfly
themed: I doubt that your crystal ball will be right. Only Kyle Hendricks had a career-best season in ’16. The defense will be as good if not better, the bullpen will be much better, and the offense won’t lose a step in ’17 and may even be better than ’16.
jdgoat
You’re still hooked on this Cubs trolling? Well, I’ll predict that Diaz doesn’t have near as good as season that he was on track to have last year and Molina has a huge drop off.
EndinStealth
The only Cubs pitcher that I think will have a worse year is Arrieta. Teams started to figure him out. He adjusted a little but wasn’t as good. Another season of him and I think he will have a mediocre season. Hendricks on the other hand is my preseason Cy Young pick.
csamson11
Teams started to figure Arrieta out? His BB/9 went up because he has ridiculous break on his pitches which in turns makes him a little wild (and he struggled with command for a bit last year) so he’d walk people and then get burned when their were runners on base, but outside of that nothing really changed. He had the 2nd best H/9 of his career and held opposing batters to the lowest BAA in the MLB, lol.
AddisonStreet
Sorry bro, but the Cubs are champs and favorites yet again.
Lefty_Orioles_Fan
Does he think a new agent will help him with his control issue?
Even if he solves that, he has an annoying getting perpetually injury problem as well,
Nothing major but he does get nagging injuries.
SMH
Yes, when he is healthy and can find the strike zone, he is good, when he doesn’t look out.
jakeperrow
Mariners?
sugoi51
I was thinking Mariners too, Marlins if they could get a deal like 2 @ less than $20m. One would think that a guy who won half of his 30 starts, has a better than league average in both WHIP and ERA. -although he averaged only 5 1/2 innings per start, could get a three-year deal somewhere. Maybe teams are worried that the tight elbow that shut him down was the precursor to something more serious.
bsteady powers
I thought the Braves would make him their #2 or #3 .. but they went wayyy older and wayyy cheaper
krillin
He is probably seeking a deal that is too long for a stop gap like the Braves are looking for.
