21 million per year? So Arrieta goes for less? 19-20?

Apparently, Arrieta wanted more, that was one reason the Cubs went with Darvish.  That's per a Jon Heyman tweet.

Cubs are nuts to hand this guy a six year contact. Good luck with that! LOL

It'll likely have some dead money at the end, but if he helps them win another World Series, I'm sure they won't be too broken up about it.

I feel like if I'm a Brewers fan, I'm getting giddy about the idea of trying to land Arrieta for 1 year at ~25M and letting him vent all his anger on the Cubs while he waits to re-enter the Dodger Yankee market next year.

Why would Arrieta take a one year deal?  I don't see it happening.  I am sure he could get 4 years 80 million pretty easily.

He is a Boras client and Boras wants more than Darvish got. If Jake doesn't sit it out, he'll probably take a pillow.

He would just take a long contract with an opt-out. No way Arrieta takes a one year deal. He turned down what Darvish received.  If Arrieta took a one year 25 million dollar contract and blew out his shoulder Boras would be hard pressed to find another client.   He can just do a 6 year contract with an opt out after one year.  There is no lack of people bidding on Arrieta.   He didn't just have a year like Tilman did.
