He opted out of his deal with the Cubs in search for a more likely opportunity.

Gotta respect his effort to work through the command issues he experienced. He is a solid MLB vet that has a good many years under his belt.
I like Maeda a lot. I enjoyed his style with the Dodgers and he was amazing with the Twins.
Don’t knock a 37 year old guy for trying to keep the dream alive. I would love to see his MLB career finish on a high note.
