[QUOTE="champaignchris, post: 1348624, member: 26283"] It’s not about the money with Arrieta and the Cubs. It’s about the years. I think the Cubs would gladly pay Arrieta $20-$25 million per for three or four years. Just not for six. The risk is too great that they’d end up paying a 38 year old $25 millions dollars to suck. That said, i really like Arrieta. If he signs a four year deal for less than $100 million elsewhere, i’ll Be pretty disappointed unless the Cubs score some other major pitching coups. But I suspect someone offers him 6 years at $20 million plus per. He’ll have deserved it and i’ll Root for him to do well whenever his new team isn’t playing the Cubs. [/QUOTE]
