The Cubs got a lot of help in 2018 from unlikely relievers. The front office spent a lot of money on bullpen arms in 2018 but the brightest moments came from players they picked up on the waiver wire and in trades. So on the third day of Cubsmas I wanted to take a look at three epic relief performances for the Cubs in 2018.
Long before Nathan Eovaldi wowed the baseball world with 6+ innings in relief in game 3 of the World Series the Cubs had Eddie Butler put on a similar display, unfortunately with a similar result, on March 30 in Miami.
