Chicago Cubs: Evaluating a possible return of Travis Wood
Former Chicago Cubs’ pitcher Travis Wood enjoyed the perils of success during his time on the North Side. Could a return be in the cards?
Travis Wood was an undeniable part of the Chicago Cubs championship season in 2016.
Appearing in 77 regular season games in relief, Wood sported a 2.95 ERA, contributing to the league’s fourth-rated bullpen regarding ERA, and helping set up the teams’ 38 saves.
Then, of course, there were the three appearances he made in left field.
Most noticeably, that memorable game against the Seattle Mariners, pitching in relief, before moving to left field and making a tremendous catch into the vines.
