Justin Wilson, Mike Montgomery, Jaime García, Jorge De La Rosa, Brian Duensing, Randy Rosario and Drew Smyly. Those are the potential left-handed relief options for the Chicago Cubs in 2019 that spent time on the roster.
Actually, scratch that. De La Rosa and Wilson are set to hit free agency, and the Cubs have a club option on García for next season. Who the Cubs do and don’t bring back for 2019 is obviously unclear right now.
Matchup nightmare
What is clear, though, is that this “position” (though left-handed relief is not a technically a singular position) must be addressed before next season.
