Cubs Ace Jake Arrieta Wants In The Home Run Derby
(CBS) Cubs ace Jake Arrieta has experienced quite the adrenaline rush in having fired a pair of no-hitters and taking the mound in a win-or-go-home wild-card game in the past year, and now he may be seeking a new way to top that.
Arrieta wants to participate in baseball's Home Run Derby this All-Star break. Arrieta has joined Giants ace Madison Bumgarner in expressing interest.
"If he's in it, I need to be in it, that's for sure," Arrieta said after Saturday's game in Atlanta, via the Chicago Tribune.
