It was quite exhilarating. And he remains perhaps the best FA signing of all time in Chicago. He put up 8.6 bWAR in two seasons, including one in which he led the league in OPS+ and hit a billion bombs with runners on. It would be similar to signing Judge today. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
