In his press conference Tuesday, Theo Epstein mentioned that the Cubs front office was staying involved in the free agent market and specifically referenced the possibility of picking up another reliever.
Well, we didn’t have to wait long to find out what Theo meant by that because on Wednesday they signed Xavier Cedeño to a one-year, $900,000 non-guaranteed contract. So I took some time to do a deep dive on Cedeño’s pitches and stats to see what he brings to the Cubs bullpen.
Spoiler alert:
Cedeño has bounced between the majors and AAA since making his debut with the Houston Astros in 2011.
