The Chicago Cubs have signed former New York Yankees reliever Jonathan Holder to a non-guaranteed deal. He can earn up to $750,000, and the contract is for just the 2021 season.
Holder was drafted in the sixth round of the 2014 MLB draft by the Yankees, and spent his entire career with the organization up to this point. He quickly progressed through the minor league system, making his major league debut in 2016. He appeared in eight games that year, pitching to a 5.40 ERA.
Beginning in 2017, Holder took up a much bigger role in the Yankee bullpen, as he began to see high-leverage situations.
