During Pedro Strop’s seven seasons with the Cubs, he put up consistently good numbers. It can be argued — and I did here in 2018 — that he’s one of the best relievers in Cubs franchise history. He had a rough 2019 due to injuries, but pitched well in September.
The Cubs opted to let Strop go to free agency after the 2019 season and he signed a one-year, $1.825 million contract with the Reds.
Things did not go well in Cincinnati. Pedro made four appearances. The first two were decent, the last two not so much, and he hit the injured list August 11 (retroactive to August 8) with a groin strain.
