With the Chicago Cubs suffering some pitching concerns this season, they have now lost a depth piece after one of their minor leaguers is opting out of his deal.
After weathering the storm that came from injuries early on, they couldn't sustain that level of play and now find themselves sitting third in the NL Central entering Saturday's slate of games and outside of a Wild Card spot.
New manager Craig Counsell has had to dip into the minor league ranks to call up position players and pitchers after many of their expected contributors have been sidelined at different times of the year. That likely had to do with his poor 8.82 ERA over his eight starts with their Triple-A affiliate as he allowed hitters to have a .336 batting average against him and gave up eight homers across his 32 2/3 innings of work.The New York Post
