Heading into last offseason, it looked like the Chicago Cubs were poised to take a $25.5 million bath over the final two years of Tyler Chatwood‘s three-year, $39 million deal. Thankfully, that no longer appears to be the case.
Last season, the right-hander led all of Major League Baseball with 95 walks. He managed this despite throwing a grand total of 9 2/3 innings from the end of July on – a testament to just how unreliable he was on the mound.
When the dust settled, he walked more batters than he struck out.
