In recent years, Theo Epstein has uncovered some gems when bargain shopping. We saw left-handers Kyle Ryan and Brad Wieck play integral roles for the Cubs in 2019 – not to mention hard-throwing right-hander Rowan Wick. If the Cubs‘ latest move is any indication, we could see a similar approach to re-stocking the pitching staff this offseason.
Chicago reportedly agreed to terms on a one-year deal with former Atlanta Braves right-hander Dan Winkler, who’s battled his share of injuries in his playing career – but has some promising peripherals that suggest he could be an impact reliever.
