I’ll admit. When the Chicago Cubs added Brandon Morrow this winter, I secretly hoped there was another move coming. You know, the move. Use Morrow as the late-inning fireman much the same as the Dodgers did on their way to the World Series last year, add a shutdown closer – perhaps even bring back Wade Davis.
Thank God I’m not pulling the levers behind the scenes.
Davis, of course, inked a staggering three-year, $52 million deal with an option for 2021. He’s been filthy – racking up 18 saves through the first two months of the season.
