Break out those finger purses. Seeking help for a beleaguered bullpen, the Cubs have signed right-handed reliever Vinny Nittoli to an MLB deal. Jeff Passan was first with the news and Meghan Montemurro confirmed the move, adding that Nittoli will join the Cubs in San Francisco for Thursday’s series finale. The righty was recently designated for assignment by the A’s and opted for free agency rather than being outrighted to Triple-A.
