The Chicago Cubs got the guy they wanted and desperately needed to man the back-end of their bullpen last week in Craig Kimbrel. Monday’s bullpen showing was another reason to believe the Cubs are not done adding to their bullpen, however.
Right now, the Cubs have no left-handed specialist they can rely on. Currently, the roster has Mike Montgomery and Kyle Ryan.
Montgomery has really struggled in his 15.2 innings of work this season. Opponents are hitting .348 against him to go with his 5.12 ERA. His best outing was on May 9 when he pitched five innings of relief against the Miami Marlins and only allowed three hits.
