Call the scouts back from New York, we found our lefty reliever!
Okay, it’s far too early to assume that Brian Matusz can parlay his new minor league contract into a legit shot with the Cubs. There’s also the report that he’s going to be stretched out as a starter with AAA Iowa, though I think we all understand that’s not set in stone.
Matusz, the fourth overall pick in the 2008 draft out of the University of San Diego (Kris Bryant’s alma mater), debuted with the Orioles in 2009 but struggled as a starter over parts of four seasons.
