Another former member of the Boston Red Sox has found his way to Chicago.
Right-handed reliever Koji Uehara has joined the Chicago Cubs on a one-year deal. Jon Heyman of Fan Rag confirmed an agreement had been reached last week, while ESPN Chicago’s Jesse Rogers revealed this morning that it will be a 1-year, $6 million deal.
The Red Sox reportedly made Uehara an offer earlier this month before moving on to Tyler Thornburg, whom they acquired in a trade with the Milwaukee Brewers to fill the eighth inning setup role.
