The Cubs made good on their stated priority of finding left-handed bullpen help, swinging a deal with the Diamondbacks to bring Andrew Chafin to Chicago in exchange for a player to be named later. The 30-year-old southpaw will be a free agent after this season and is currently on the 10-day IL, so Arizona is reportedly paying his prorated $3.045 million for this season down to the league minimum and will receive a low-level prospect if he’s able to return within the next two weeks or so as expected.
