For what it's worth, I love it to death.

Yu to me was easily the best pitcher on the market going forward. He turns an iffy Quintana-Hendricks-Lester-Chatwood-Montgomery rotation to a MUCH better rotation taking Monty out and putting in Darvish. Makes our bullpen better as well. And that AV isn't bad at all.

I agree and I'm okay with the Cubs moving on from Arrieta. Darvish has some weird quirks he can hopefully fix. He gets hammered in the first inning and then, yeah, there's the tipping his hand thing too.

Okay - the extra details in Yu's contract

- The opt out is after 2019 (so 2 years)

- Has a full no-trade clause for part of the deal that will change to a 12 team list. (That part isn't 100% clear yet but I am guessing it would be if he doesn't opt out that is when it changes.)

- Every year has a $2 million bonus if he wins the Cy Young ($1 million if he finishes 2nd - 5th)
