Last week, when the Reds designated Pedro Strop for assignment, I wrote that the Cubs should reacquire him.
That has apparently happened, according to a report out of the Dominican Republic:
This is an excellent move. Strop made only three appearances for the Reds this year and didn’t throw all that well, and he suffered a groin injury last month.
Presuming he’s healthy, why not? The Reds released him, so the Cubs are responsible for only a pro-rated portion of the minimum salary for this year.
