Cubs Disappoint Fans With Richard Deal, Waiting For a Better Deal That May Not Come

Yesterday the Chicago Cubs made their first move of the season as they bought the contract of Clayton Richard from the Pittsburgh Pirates, he will start tonight in place of Donn Roach. This is a move that did not wow many fans, probably not any as Richard is not exactly a good pitcher; but he might be better than Roach who was demoted to make room for him.

The 31 year old pitcher is a six year veteran, but has not pitched in the Majors since 2013, instead he has been throwing in the Minors having mixed success.
