The Cubs will get another shot at trying to fix an ex-Orioles pitcher. They have done this before.
You may have spent the past couple of years watching the occasional successes and more memorable failures of Brian Matusz just waiting for the inevitable time when he would be traded to a National League and suddenly become good. That time has arrived.
According to Mark Gonzales of the Chicago Tronc, Matusz, whose salary was dumped by the Orioles onto the Braves before he was designated for an assignment less than an hour after, has signed a minor league contract with the Chicago Cubs.
