There's been nothing but smoke, but no fire as of yet, but everyone and their brother is leaning Yu to the Cubs, but no idea on the cost as of yet, or when it could actually happen.
It seems he's the one holding everything up tho. If the Twins/Brewers can't get him to sign with them, pretty much just leaves us, and we won't up our offer enough for his liking.......yet.
Either way, Yu, Arrieta, Cobb, Lynn all left still, the Cubs will get at least one of them, someday.
Getting Yu would be a bonus however because we wouldn't lose a draft pick, and we would GAIN a 2nd rounder for Arrieta whenever he signs with someone.
Or, maybe they pull a Spring Training Fowler situation and bring Arrieta back at the last minute. Pitchers and catchers report within 3 weeks, things should start happening very soon.
