While he had a solid outing Saturday night against the Cardinals, before that he’d had a 7.67 ERA since the beginning of July.

While Davies has not been good, both Darvish and Caratini have fallen far short of expectations as well. The Chicago Cubs still have a chance to win this trade in the end in the dugout during Saturday night’s game against the Cardinals.
