The format is fine. Don't want to play a potential one and done, then win the division. Play in games should not be a "best of".

Congrats on getting to the playoffs....truly, congrats. Both the Cards and Brewers earned their way. Cubs are mentally done and are simply playing out the stretch. Maybe they'll still one from the Cardinals to help you guys out but I would not hold my breathe. Looking forward to renewing the rivalry in 2020. Good luck against Washington.

The Cubs had very little interest in bringing back Arrieta. They wanted to do something like Cobb/Chatwood early, but Cobb was pricing himself too high and Darvish price was coming down, so the Cubs pivoted to Darvish. (Note: I find it funny that some Brewers fans--not sure if it is this board or not--are talking themselves into believing the Cubs bullpen will be bad.)

Back to reality, their chances of signing Harper are virtually zero. Much more likely that Boston, LA, or SF gets him. NY has their corners well covered, will be more apt to target machado/donaldson/kershaw. Swing and a miss. That's wishful thinking about the Cubs landing Harper being "virtually zero." In fact, believe it or not, signing Darvish will not prevent the Cubs from going after and/or signing Harper. If Theo thought for one second signing Darvish negatively impacts their chances at Harper, he would have passed on Darvish. So, imo, signing Darvish actually help the Cubs go after Harper. You can chose to believe that or not, which I'm sure you won't believe. Not saying Harper to the Cubs is guarantee, I'm saying your "virtually zero" comment is pretty much, wrong.

Here's the kicker, it's not an overpay. Darvish will be making about 1.5--roughly---less than Mad Max and he'll make similar money to Homer Bailey, James Shields (Shields/Bailey, wanna take overpay?) and Jonny Cueto. And he'll be making around a million to million five more than Wainwright and Strasburg. (Darvish was looking for 6/175 to begin the off-season.) Overpay? It's closer to being a steal than an overpay. Throw in the opt-out, and it's a clear steal. The Cubs did not react to the Brewers Cain/Yelich moves, so the Brewers cannot knee jerk react to the Darvish move.
