Yu Darvish To Minor Leaguers: I'm Rich, Here's Steak!

Yu Darvish -- who's in a $126 MILLION contract -- completed his first minor league rehab start this week ... and celebrated by spoiling BOTH TEAMS with a very expensive Ruth's Chris steak dinner.
The Chicago Cubs had sent the pitcher down to the Class A affiliate South Bend Cubs to help him work his way back from a triceps injury ... and, Monday night, he took the mound with a bunch of guys who make WAY less cash.
In fact, most of the players only make around $45k per year (and that's if they're playing consistently for the entire year).
So, Yu -- being the generous rich dude that he is -- pulled out the checkbook and bought a massive spread of steak, salmon, sides and some bomb ass cookies for his team and the opposing West Michigan Whitecaps.
>Total bill for it all had to be pricey ... a steak from the fancy spot runs about $50 a pop, while the fish costs about $30 a piece.As for the minor leaguers ... Whitecaps reliever Max Green took to Twitter to thank Yu for the meal afterward.
"What a guy!"
By the way, Yu took the L during the game but he threw pretty well -- racking up 5 Ks and only 3 hits in 5 innings.
