The Chicago Cubs sign Cory Wade
The Chicago Cubs have signed 29-year old righty reliever Cory Wade to a minor league deal. Wade pitched in 39 games (0 starts) for the Yankees last year and he was 1-1 with a 6.46 ERA and a 1.39 WHIP. Wade has now pitched in 161 games (0 starts) in his first four years in the majors and he is 11-6 with a 3.65 ERA and a 1.12 WHIP. Wade will have a good shot of making the Cubs’ bullpen next spring.
