But even if he struggles in playoffs ( let’s hope not) some out there I think he will still pay a kings ransom for him whether he was a Boras client or not

His command has been off nearly all year. What’s possibly an encouraging note is that Maddon/Bosio will likely have a shorter leash with him in the playoffs. The bullpen is deep enough that he doesn’t have to go past the 5th or 6th inning if he’s struggling with baserunners.

Still a good pitcher but with enough questions to dull the blade of Boras in free agency just enough for Cubs to resign him and then unveil 2015 Arrieta 2.0 on a 6 year contract.
