CC is a FA. We definitely can sign Darvish and stay under the cap, my only question is whether Darvish will be worth it. He wasn’t great this year and has been injury prone. He’ll want to be paid as an ace

I almost forgot about Darvish. I just remember his last start for Texas was ugly..... but didn't follow him much once he signed with the Dodgers a little over a month ago. I think as soon as he signed with the Dodgers he missed some time with a bad back. Might be a risky sign depending how much money he asks for.
Sonny Gray finisihed 40th in SP'er WAR this year at 2.8. If you count the first 30 as "aces", then he's a solid #2 by WAR.
He placed 33 in ERA- at 82 (better than Darvish).
Her placed 30th in WHIP. Both these stats show him near top 30 and the "ace" status he once held before the injuries.
From 2013 to 2015, he finished 14th in ERA- at 76 and 23rd in WHIP at 1.14.
He had a 6.9 WAR from 2014 to 2015 (23rd in MLB).
He's an ace when healthy. He was a solid #2 this year.
