After four years with the Boston Red Sox, veteran reliever Koji Uehara has reportedly found a new home with the Chicago Cubs.
ESPN.com's Jesse Rogers reported Wednesday that Uehara inked a one-year, $6 million deal with the defending World Series champs, and that report was later confirmed by Jeff Passan of Yahoo Sports.
Uehara is one of the most unique relievers in Major League Baseball. He has performed at a high level for nearly a decade despite having a fastball that FanGraphs' stats show has never averaged more than 89.
