We are all waiting for big Cubs news. We’re not getting big Cubs news.
Thus I bring you minor Cubs news: The Cubs have apparently signed lefthanded reliever Kyle Ryan to a minor-league deal. How did we learn this? From the player’s Twitter page, on which he says he is a “LHP for the Chicago Cubs.”
Ryan was the Tigers’ 12th-round pick in 2010. He was in the big leagues in 2014 and had a pretty good year out of Detroit’s bullpen in 2016: 3.07 ERA, 1.132 WHIP, 1.0 bWAR in 56 appearances covering 55u2154 innings.
