Cubs To Sign Jeremy Jeffress

By Jeff Todd | February 1, 2020 at 4:20pm CDT

FEBRUARY 1: The signing is now official.

JANUARY 28: The Cubs have agreed to terms with righty Jeremy Jeffress on a one-year MLB deal, per ESPN.com’s Jeff Passan (via Twitter). It’ll pay him $850K and includes $200K in available incentives based upon appearances.

Jeffress will hope to regain his form in Chicago after falling flat last year with the Brewers. The sinkerballer was lights-out in 2018 but lost about 1.5 ticks of velocity in the ensuing campaign. He was dropped by the Milwaukee organization after throwing 52 innings of 5.02 ERA ball with 8.0 K/9, 2.9 BB/9, and a 48.4% groundball rate.

It has been a bit of a rollercoaster ride over the years for Jeffress. At his best, he has gobbled up grounders and limited the long ball and even on occasion recorded a decent number of strikeouts. The history of home run suppression (0.67 per nine for his career) is of particular interest in the era of the aerodynamic baseball. But Jeffress hasn’t always been consistent and had a worrisome DWI incident back in 2016.

For the Cubs, it’s a low-cost signing that has some relative upside. There’s really no reason to think Jeffress can replicate that ’18 outburst — his sparkling 1.29 ERA was certainly the result of good pitching, but there was some good fortune mixed in as well — but he doesn’t need to reach those heights to pay dividends. If he can regain some lost velo or learn to live without it, Jeffress could end up pitching a lot of high-leverage innings at Wrigley.

      Strop had a heck of a good career in Chicago. 5 consecutive seasons with a sub-3 ERA. You’d be hard pressed to find a setup man who was more reliable season to season between 2014-2018.

        He can be a free agent next year or the year after anyhow, so it’s not like the reds are guaranteed to have him long term. The only way they have him for the full length of the contract is if he’s a complete dud there.

        I’ll bet by years end his offensive numbers are better than Bryants and I doubt he’ll have Bryants team leading 15 errors either. Castellanos should have been signed by the Cubs.

          Not that it matters but you should understand, mistry, that 3B is a much easier position to rack up errors than RF.

          And I’d take that bet against you on the offensive numbers but I get the feeling you want to compare batting average and RBIs.

          You have to go all the way back to 2013 to find a season in which he spent an entire season with another team, and he threw a 0.87 ERA that year. He had 6.75 and 4.70 ERAs in the two seasons prior with KC, but that was 9 8 years ago. Things change in 8 years. He had three partial seasons with other teams since then, two of which were poor and one that was excellent.

          That’s not enough to tell me that’s he’s incapable of pitching well with another team, especially when your best evidence of data on that is from almost a decade ago.

          Once again, I didn’t say he’s been as good with other teams as he is with the Brewers, but the evidence definitely disputes your claim that he’s incapable of pitching elsewhere.

    He was awful in 2019 but great in 2018. Maybe he can bounce back. As a Cub fan I get wanting to see bigger and better signings – but no one is left out there on the FA market really. You can’t hate this deal. It’s only $850k guaranteed! I mean if he has a decent year that’s great value, and if he doesn’t – what else do you really expect them to do right now FA wise. I’m sure once the Bryant grievance is settled you’ll see Baez locked up to a long-term deal – I have to think they have money ear-marked for him on a long term deal, just waiting to see how many years of control they have left for Bryant first. Other than that, maybe a trade domino falls but I really don’t think we are going to be looking at too much drastic change on the Cubs roster between now and opening day.

      This is the arbitrators way of punishing the Cubs. He knows they didn’t break the rule so he will rule in their favor in the end but he also knows it was to manipulate service time and he is stalling so they can’t trade Bryant at full value. That or he is incredibly incompetent

        It wasn’t only the Cubs that have utilized the service time, multiple teams have done it over the years. Acuna is the most recent, though I think that Tatis also fell into this. The Nats did it with Harper too. And the Astros.held back Springer for a few weeks in 2014.

        If, and that’s a big if, Bryant wins the grievance, the fallout will be big. But honestly, this grievance should never have been filed given that it’s in the contract that the Players Union negotiated. Chances are likely they agreed to it to get something else.

    Reliever Jeremy Jeffress is yet another inexpensive, low risk bounce-back candidate for the Cubs along with ‘versatile’ lefty hitting 2B Scooter Gennett. It’s too bad that the payroll restrictions imposed by the Ricketts ownership is handcuffing the front office but Jeffress and Gennett can fill important team needs in 2020 while also presenting tremendous upside should each duplicate their most recent production before their abysmal 2019 output.

        I was talking about Scooter Gennett and did state that he and Jeremy Jeffries were each “candidates” who “can fill important team needs in 2020” for the Cubs. Technically, none of these players including OF Stephen Souza Jr. has been officially signed by the Cubs as we post. Reportedly Souza is awaiting his physical which would be especially important considering he is coming off a serious knee injury that resulted in him missing the entire 2019 season.

        The Cubs also have a bit of a crunch with only one spot currently open on their 40-man roster and 3 potential players to fill them on MLB contracts. All this should be rectified in the coming days along with the possibility that the Kris Bryant MLB service time grievance might finally be decided opening up even more trade possibilities ahead of spring training.

    Always liked JJ as a Brewer, but his collapse started at the end of 2018 and in the play-offs. Then he showed up at spring training with a “tired arm”, unable to reach the mid-eighties with his fastball after being consistently in the mid-nineties throughout most of 2018. Hard to say how that happens…it was weird. Then he gets back up to around 90 mph by May, gets brought up, and basically stinks all year until they release him. I guess it’s a no-risk situation for him and the Cubs, but I’m really surprised it’s a major league deal. Hope he does well.

      I read somewhere JJ had changed up his offseason workout regiment which had neglected to condition a certain muscle in his shoulder which cause his stamina to dip.

      There have also been multiple reports suggesting the raised seams on the “juices” balls negatively impacted pitchers who threw cutters/sinkers. Not sure how accurate this part is but interesting nonetheless.

    Throw 20 darts and you are bound to hit a couple bullseyes. I don’t mind this signing at all. They got some upside bullpen pieces signed for nothing. 2018 Jeffress was one of the best closers in baseball. Treinen got 10 million and was also atrocious in 2019

      Building a bullpen is a volume game. Long term deals for relievers are foolish. There are a few closers who warrant a long term commitment, but most bullpen arms are unpredictable. There is a reason most of them aren’t starters… consistency.

      One of the women from Destiny’s Child owns part of the Chicago WNBA team, so I guess that it COULD be possible…

    You’re paying the guy peanuts,
    and he was lights out for Milwaukee
    at one time.

    I love the upside here. Good for Jeffress for bagging a big league gurantee

    Shows that Ricketts isn’t a headass. Also, I love this deal.

    I am willing to give this guy a chance but I probably would have offered him minor league with invite to spring training first and see if he would bite.

    The way Ricketts is acting is ridiculous. If I remember right they bought the team for 700 mil. It is now worth well over 3 BILLION. He has made plenty of profit off Cubs fans. We can more than afford all our core and the players they need to support them for the two more years while we have them. That gives us two more years to pick another one or two off before they bust it down and rebuild it. It will not hurt the Ricketts one bit to pay the luxury tax one more year. They are just too selfish to do it. I hate I will be handing any of my cash I worked like hell for on their team but I want to watch the Cubs play.

      While it may seem cheapness.. I think it’s more about resetting the tax and allowing them to resign guys like Baez rizzo and maybe Bryant if he isn’t traded..if that is the case then it’s smart to be frugal one year

    Not a comfortable situation, but the team has to hope for healthy, bounce-back seasons from Kimbrel, Morrow, and Jeffress; productive seasons from unproven Wick, Ryan, and Wieck; and catch lightning in a bottle with a few of Winkler, Tepera, Sadler, Megill, and Hultzen; or the bullpen will be brutal.

      Honest question. If they catch lightning in a bottle with all three of Kimbrel, Morrow, and Jeffress that’s one of the best 7-9 right? I don’t think it will happen, but if the stars align, that’s a pretty solid bullpen. I can hope, right?

        More likely that they catch lightning with Kimbrel, Wick and Wieck.

        In today’s game, a good team needs 5-7 quality arms in the pen who can be trusted in competitive games. I’m having a hard time identifying those 5-7 quality arms on the cubs who can be trusted.
