Hearing the #Cubs are the preferred destination of Yu Darvish and may consider taking a little less to sign with Chicago. Wouldn't be the first FA to take less money in order to play for the Cubs. #Hotstove 🔥🔥

Jon Lester deserves to pitch his last game at Wrigley with fans in attendance. He deserves the longest of standing ovations. The loudest of cheers. He was exactly what the Cubs wanted when they signed him. His option will not get picked up but somehow, some way, one more year.
