Will the Cubs resign Jake Arrieta or go out and get another starter like Alex Cobb or top pitching free agent, Yu Darvish?
The slow-moving free agency class has been taking its time to sign with teams this offseason, but Darvish has reportedly been in talks with a couple teams this week as he nears a new club.
Morosi also notes that the Minnesota Twins are one team that Darvish is having active talks with.
According to Jerry Crasnick of ESPN.com, Darvish is also being courted by the Chicago Cubs, Texas Rangers, Los Angeles Dodgers and Milwaukee Brewers and has been offered at least one five-year contract.

The trooper noticed the smell of marijuana and later discovered several bags full of marijuana in the vehicle. According to the State Patrol, a trooper observed an eastbound Ford Expedition speeding at about 2:45 p.m.
Darvish, 31, finished the 2017 season with a 10-12 record in stints with the Rangers and Dodgers, posting a 3.86 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 209 strikeouts in 186.2 innings.
The addition of Darvish would be a big boost for Chicago, which has made it to the NLCS in each of the past three years, winning the World Series in 2016.
The conversations come amid reports the Cubs have agreed to a minor league deal with Chris Gimenez, who regularly caught Darvish while they were in Texas and developed a trusted working relationship with the Japanese pitcher.
