Earlier this month, a report came out saying the Cubs and Jake Arrieta wouldn’t get a deal done because the asking price was too high. So much for that rumor being true. Arrieta signed a one-year, $6 million deal to reunite with his former team.

As mentioned, the version of game scores used in this methodology adjusted the actual hit totals allowed by pitchers on a game-by-game basis for defense (using Statcast-based expected averages) and the pitcher's ability to induce soft contact. This latter trait is one that is only borne out over a huge sample of outings, so it was deployed with caution. That I did this at all was entirely because of Hendricks, whose mastery is not done justice by game score and, frankly, by a lot of other metrics. And for all my trouble, the system still underrates Hendricks, who is probably my favorite pitcher to watch in baseball right now. The cast around Hendricks is quite a bit different, as the small-town Cubs had to pare down payroll because of the limitations of their market and the limited reach of their brand. (The last sentence was sarcasm, if you can't tell.) Gone are Lester, Darvish and Quintana. In is a group of fairly anonymous starters. Davies is an established big leaguer who fills out a rotation well but is miscast as Hendricks' No. 2, if that's how it shakes out. Williams is another established, lower-rotation pitcher who might be asked to give more than he has given in the past. If there is upside to be found in this mix, it'll come from Mills and/or Alzolay. Depth is lacking.New York Mets

If these numbers pan out, the Giants could end up as one of those teams with an underrated offense that ends up that way because its proficiency is obscured by a pitcher-friendly ballpark. It won't be as extreme as it has been for the Mets, as San Francisco's outlook is to be more mediocre than excellent at the plate, but that's better than being terrible, which is how it might look based on raw run projections.Kansas City Royals

Most projections don't like the Giants' chances to make the playoffs. Baseball Prospectus projects the Giants to finish fourth in the NL West, while FanGraphs gives them just a 7.9 percent chance at the postseason. For Kapler, however, he's sending his team a simple message: Be your best and good things will happen. Seattle Mariners

MLB, which is a part owner of Rawlings, the equipment company that produces all the baseballs for Major and minor leagues out of a facility in Costa Rica, instructed the manufacturer to research and make changes.
