On December 8, 2015, the New York Yankees traded Adam Warren and Brendan Ryan to the Chicago Cubs in exchange for Starlin Castro. Little did Warren know that he would be returning to the Bronx in no time.
As the right-hander’s tenure with Chicago began, he saw much success in the beginning month of the year. Warren began the season by not allowing a single earned run with nine strikeouts in eight innings of work.
At first, he was looking like the pitcher the Cubs were expecting when they acquired him for their young second baseman.
