It’s Christmas Eve and the front office continued its search for pitching leading into the holidays. The Cubs acquired lefty reliever David Rollins off waivers, again, on Friday and he was added to the 40-man roster for a second time this off-season. The Cubs signed two pitchers and two position players to minor league contracts. And the front office, along with around 20 other teams, is pursuing RHP Tyson Ross as reports suggest he might not pick a team and sign until January.
