• Scott Miller's Starting 9: Fifty-Six Reasons to Pay Attention in Spring Training
2016

Visit the page Scott Miller

2025
"The Cubs’ teardown of their last core that saw them part ways with Kyle Schwarber, Yu Darvish, Jon Lester, Anthony Rizzo, Kris Bryant, Javier Baez, and Craig Kimbrel over the course of nine months."

2024
"Javier Assad will start for the Cubs and old friend Yu Darvish will start for San Diego."

2023
"The Padres and right-hander Yu Darvish are in agreement on a six-year extension that’ll run through the 2028 season, AJ Cassavell and Mark Feinsand of MLB."

2022
"First, it was the trade that sent 2020 NL Cy Young runner-up Yu Darvish to the Padres for what felt like a bunch of teenagers who amounted to little more […] Cubs now boast a top 10 farm system in all of baseball - Cubbies Crib - Cubbies Crib - Chicago Cubs News, Rumors, and Fan Community"

2021
"Yu Darvish, Kris Bryant, Anthony Rizzo, Javier Baez, Craig Kimbrel and more."

2020
"Yu Darvish, who was shelled in Games 3 and 7 of the 2017 World Series while with the Dodgers, says the Astros should be stripped of their title and that players on the team shouldn't be talking right now."

2019
"After a bounce-back showing in the second half of the 2019 season, right-hander Yu Darvish could emerge as a winter trade chip for the Cubs."

2018
"The Chicago Cubs and free-agent ace pitcher Yu Darvish have agreed to a six-year, $126 million deal, a source confirmed to ESPN's Jesse Rogers."

2017
"With Cody Bellinger driving in runs and Yu Darvish and the bullpen preventing them, the Dodgers completed their three-game sweep of the National League Division Series presented by T-Mobile on Monday with a 3-1 victory over the D-backs at Chase Field to reach the NL Championship Series for the second consecutive year."

2016
"Yu Darvish struck out seven and allowed one run through five innings in his first start back from Tommy John elbow reconstruction surgery, and Adrian Beltre passed a milestone RBI mark, as the Rangers beat the Pirates, 5-2, Saturday night at Globe Life Park."

2015
"Rangers right-hander Yu Darvish underwent an MRI on Friday, which revealed that he has a sprained ulnar collateral ligament in his right elbow."

2014
" Crasnick also tweeted that Peavy has a higher quality-start percentage (six innings, three earned runs or less) than a few high-profile starters: Peavy certainly isn't going to be Jon Lester or Yu Darvish moving forward, but this isn't some washed-up pitcher merely holding on to past glory."
