When the Chicago Cubs dealt for Justin Wilson last summer, they thought they found their ‘go-to’ left-handed reliever. But after he struggled a great deal last season, we went into 2018 with some questions about what to expect from the former Tigers southpaw.
Thankfully, he’s rebounded nicely. In 38 appearances already this season, he’s recorded a 3.00 ERA, 3.46 FIP and 12.8 strikeouts per nine. But with Mike Montgomery filling a void in the starting rotation, the Cubs needed another lefty out in the left field bullpen.
In stepped Randy Rosario.
Rosario is a left-handed pitcher from the Dominican Republic who was signed by the Twins as a 16 -year old amateur free agent in August of 2010 and made his big league with the debut with the Twins in 2017.
