2. Yu Darvish
Position: SP | Age: 31
Current Team: Dodgers | Best Fit: Cubs
2017 Stats: 10-12, 3.86 ERA, 1.163 WHIP, 10.1 K/9
Darvish enjoyed the National League, striking out more than 11 batters per nine with a 3.44 ERA after his midseason trade from the Rangers. He's the best starter out there, despite two disastrous World Series starts, and those get paid: over the past three years, three of them (Zack Greinke, David Price and Max Scherzer) have commanded pacts worth more than $200 million. The Cubs—likely to lose Jake Arrieta and John Lackey—have an opening.
