Darvish has been the 3rd best pitcher in the game since about midway through 2019 behind DeGrom and Bieber. What the Cubs traded him for is irrelevant to how he has actually performed. Darvish was 44% of the Cubs pitching WAR last season.

And its way too early to grade what the Cubs got in return because they traded for 4 prospects and 3 havent even played professional baseball yet, but were some of the most expensive signings on the IFA.
