In 2017 I watched Jake Arrieta throw what we all thought would be his last game as a Cub and I wrote this piece where I talked about Jake’s role with the Cubs as “the Stopper.” The pitcher who just always seemed to come through at big moments when the team needed him most. That piece contains a thought exercise where I made this argument:
The thing I think we miss about Jake sometimes, however, is his greatness for the Chicago Cubs, and I’m not talking about the stint in 2015 where he was the best pitcher in the history of the game (I’m sure most of the people reading this know I’m not being hyperbolic there, but if you don’t, read this). No, see, Jake was great even if you revert some of his 2015 numbers to the mean. Even if you eliminate the six month period where no one could hit against him.

Yes, I've Seen the Bryant-Hendricks, Cubs-Blue Jays Trade Rumor ... Sigh


Yes
Let’s break this down – quickly, as that’s really all it merits at the moment – based on what was said. The Blue Jays want impact starting pitching, and would prefer to add a big bat at third base. Thus, if there’s a team out there in obvious sell mode that has those two pieces together, yeah, you’re probably going to have some kind of conversations.
That means the Cubs, with guys like Kyle Hendricks and Kris Bryant, are obvious targets 
for the Blue Jays.
Would the Cubs actually part with the two in the same deal? Well, if you could set aside the optics, yeah, we know they’re open to moving Bryant, and the Yu Darvish deal strongly suggests they’d be open to moving Hendricks, too, if the return was right. I honestly don’t know that the Cubs are concerned at this point about obliterating their chances of competing in 2021, despite what they might say. I think long-term is now firmly the higher priority. ....
