Free Agent Yu Darvish has Met with the Dodgers about Contract
Last week, Dodgers free agent pitcher, Yu Darvish tweeted out that there are six teams that he is considering offers from: Rangers, Cubs, Twins, Yankees and ironically, the Astros.
It took a while, but Jeff Wilson from the Fort Worth Star-Telegram has a source that says Darvish met with the Dodgers brass during this relatively quiet off-season.
“the Yankees now think it may be possible to recruit the right-hander on a five-year deal worth between $80 million to 90 million.” – theScore
Fans are almost split on their feelings towards Darvish after his heart-breaking performance in last year’s World Series. With over 5,000 votes on just twitter, Dodger fans have shown their support in re-signing Darvish.
Do you want Yu Darvish back in the Dodgers Pitching Rotation this upcoming season?

With the Dodgers being so close to a championship and the Giants making a much needed splash this offseason, let’s hope the Dodgers brass can figure out the right strategy to address the our championship-level pitching staff needs.
I doubt the Dodgers are willing to match the Yankees offer of $80M to $90M to retain Darvish. I have mixed emotions about Him. Let him go.
I agree Phil.. Friedman isn’t going to spend any money anyway..
