I get it. Begging Jake to get to the table, then hearing boreass and his 175 stupidity, shows how this boreass is ruining the league. Didnt he make enough damn money to just go the fuck away now?
So after 3 times of attempting to talk to Jake and getting turned down, the cubs made one more last ditch effort, calling Jake BEFORE offering YU the deal and telling him, this is what we are going to offer, its either you or Yu. They gave him right of first refusal.
Jake was great here, but you almost have to believe that the cubs getting all the credit for turning Jake around kind of sours said player. Jake worked his ass off too. Remember, Baltimore pitchers were banned from throwing cutters, all Jake did was start throwing it and became a cy young.
