sportsjunkie24
They should try him in the rotation
bigjonliljon
It’s now being reported that is exactly what they are going to do

I had a feeling the Cubs would sign him. Totally fits what they do. Like the move. Low risk/high reward potential
Kayrall
What kind of trade do you propose?

The next Arrieta.

Well, Clayton Richards’ days are are numbered if Matusz can be effective at AAA.
cubsfan24
Definitely not the answer but worth a roll of the dice

The fact that he was cast aside by a second team is irrelevant. He didn’t throw a pitch or attend a workout for the Braves – they were always just going to release him upon acquiring. He never had a chance to work with their coaches or be reworked like the Cubs will be doing. This is his second chance, and I wouldn’t be surprised to see him turn things around and succeed as a starter.
The O’s messed with and put absurd limitations on Arrietta, and now he’s a success with a different approach. Matusz was subject to similar restraints, but had a top-notch pedigree coming out of SDSU or whatever SoCal school he attended.

Well stated

Does anyone know if the Cubs released Alex Sanabia? He gave up a bunch of runs on the 11th in minors and he’s listed on MILB as released but I couldn’t find any official word.

Good to see pirates management ante up and get a decent bullpen arm. Wait they didn’t! They never do do they? Guess that’s why the cub rebuild has gone far past my favorite teams!

Richards is done as a Cubs .There weakest link in a strong Bullpen . I hope Matuze replace him he’ll any LHRP is better than him so many chance from spring training he sucked and taking a spot from Edwards or someone
thebare
Conception might be the Cubs answer it here we go another Henry guy no love from Theo
thebare
Any trade that include parts of Vogelbalm,McKinny,Edwards,Canderla Caratina should feel lucky to get any of this professional would be lucky all the above can start on other teams in both league. Plus we could throw Richards in for a change of scenery

Well at least 1 of the guys you mentioned is a real player, so I guess it could be worse…
