Cubs sign righthanded reliever David Robertson

The Cubs continued signing pitchers Wednesday, as they announced the signing of reliever David Robertson. This one has been officially announced by the team.

Robertson was a successful closer for the Yankees and White Sox from 2014-17. Since then he’s had some tough times and also missed the entire 2020 season and most of 2021 after Tommy John surgery.

Last year with the Rays he posted a 4.50 ERA and 1.250 WHIP in 12 appearances which included his first (and to date, only) MLB start. Of course, that wasn’t really a start; he was used as an “opener” September 24 against the Marlins.
