The San Diego Padres have yet to make any significant news this offseason, most of what has been discussed is rumor and speculation. Padres starter Yu Darvish made some news of his own while taking part in the Padres Holiday Tour at Ronald McDonald House in San Diego, Monday. In a news starved baseball town like San Diego, the comments from Darvish were covered extensively in various reports from every media outlet that covers the Padres. The part of Darvish’s comment that seemed to be the most newsworthy was when he was asked about his potential return to the rotation. Kevin Acee of the San Diego Union-Tribune reported that Darvish said, “I don’t have that in my mind,” Darvish said. “I’m just trying to just rehab my arm right now. And if I get the urge to come back, if I feel like I can stand on the mound and come back, then I will go for that, but I’ll just leave it there for now.” This comment has caused many of the Friar Faithful to speculate that Darvish may not take the mound again for the Padres.
