It would be a good day to be a Fathers fan.
O Cubs I sent Yu Darvish and your favorite catcher Victor Caratini, plus a “small share” of the remaining $ 59 million in his San Diego contract.
In return, the Cubs are receiving the right-handed pitcher Zach Daviesshortstops Reginald Preciado and Yeison Santanaoutfielders Owen caissie and Ismael Mena.
Davis turns 28 on January 7. He launched 6 seasons in the MLB, 5 with Brewers, and the last with the Fathers. Career, he has a record of 50-36 and an ERA of 3.79 in 123 starts. It has 9.8 bWAR at that time. In 2020, he had an ERA of 2.73 in 12 matches, with 63 eliminations and 19 walks in 69 entries. He is a free agent after this season.
The others who go to the Cubs did not have much professional playing time. Caissie is from Burlington, Ontario. He was chosen in the second round in 2020. He is only 18 years old.
Preciado is only 17 years old. Baseball America placed him 23rd in the Padres system in his mid-season update.
The others:
Reggie Preciado, Ismael Mena, Yeison Santana and Owen Caissie were Fathers No. 15, 17, 18 and 20 prospects, respectively, in the next BA Prospect Handbook. They are going with Zach Davies to the Cubs for Yu Darvish and Victor Caratini, for @sdutKevinAcee and @sdutSanders

They are all a long way from the majors.
It looks like a slight return to Darvish, but he is 34 and owes $ 59 million over the next three years. And he wasn’t exactly the consistency or health model in his 8-year MLB career (well, 9, in fact, he missed 2015 after Tommy John’s surgery). In these 8 seasons, he has played 30 matches 3 times.
2020 went very well for him, 2.01 ERA and 8 wins, finishing 2nd in the voting for Cy Young.
