In order to fill up their 40-man roster — which now sits at 39 — the Chicago Cubs brought back a right-handed pitcher that began his career as a starting pitcher only to find himself working out of the bullpen.
According to the Chicago-Tribune, the Cubs, and 27-year-old reliever, Trevor Cahill officially came to an agreement on a one-year deal worth $4.25 million after his outstanding second half and postseason performance.
The deal was originally agreed upon while Theo Epstein, Jed Hoyer, and N.L. Manager of the Year, Joe Maddon were in Tennessee for the Winter Meetings as reported by CBS Chicago.
