THE TRADE – If you missed the news yesterday, the Cubs made a trade with the Mariners for bullpen help. The Cubs acquired left-handed pitcher Mike Montgomery and right-handed pitcher Jordan Pries in exchange for Paul Blackburn and Dan Vogelbach. Montgomery is the arm that immediately helps this pen with another lefty, who has pitched to lefties to the tune of a .164 / .269 / .254 split line. He’s a young, cost controlled guy who throws in the low to mid-90’s on his fastball and uses as cutter, curveball and a change.
