As we all know by now, Brandon Morrow will not be back with the Chicago Cubs next season. I’m sure every Cubs fan is perfectly OK with that decision to not pick up the club option. Morrow’s time with the Cubs was, to say the least, very disappointing.
Going into the 2018 season, the Cubs needed a closer after letting Wade Davis hit free agency. Morrow was one of the premier names on the free agency list after an outstanding 2017 with the Dodgers. Morrow was used as the setup man for the Dodgers and excelled in that role.
