Tons of hype and made a ton of money but 20 games under 500 in his career. What are your thoughts on him?

He helped bring Addison Russell to the Cubs, which looked like a real win for a while. That kind of wore off pretty quickly.

He was probably the best HS football player I have seen play in person.

13 years in the bigs. Sure he only won 43% of his decisions but anybody that has ever posted here would gladly sign up for a 13 year pro career with earnings over $120 million.

No doubt. A kid who grows up in the Chicagoland region (region rat) and gets to play for both Chicago teams during his run. That is a dream life.

what's up with his jacket being bunched up on the arms like that, too small of a jacket maybe. guy made enough cash, should be able to afford a jacket that fits.

And if he wanted to, he likely could get a job in media reporting for either team, or perhaps as a minor league pitching coach.

Likewise, he probably could latch on at a DII or DIII school as a WR coach.
