2025 Cubs player profiles: Eli Morgan

Eli Morgan was acquired from the Guardians in November for minor leaguer Alfonsin Rosario.

The 5’10”, 180 lb reliever is another prospect-turned-suspect whose advancing age discourages teams from hosting him, but he throws decently, though with a tendency to give up the long ball.

Still, he posted four good years with Cleveland, with diminishing innings each year, and logged 265u2153 total innings during that period. Morgan features a quality assortment capped by a fastball at 92-93, with a slider, curve, cutter, and change also offered. The cutter and change are rarely deployed and have been phased out in recent years.
