Why haven’t the Cubs signed this guy yet, Part 7: Trevor Rosenthal

I’m reviving this (semi) popular series (the last one, almost a month ago, was about Jeremy Jeffress) because I saw this tweet @ me Monday:

Dear @Cubs
Sign @TrevRosenthal he’s an impact name, won’t break the bank & some how still throws 99mph

Well. “Impact name” aside, Trevor Rosenthal was a lights-out closer for the Cardinals in 2014 and 2015 before he began to run into elbow trouble in 2016.
