Cubs pitcher Jake Arrieta, who is seeking a contract extension, was asked if he will be looking for a bigger extension than Stephen Strasburg’s seven-year, $175-million deal.

I think there were certainly times in his career where he could’ve gone other places, but the city, San Diego, kind of grew on him, and he became an icon in that city.
