I know what your thinking. Who? I’ll admit, I did the same thing when I saw the Chicago Cubs signing of Kyle Ryan. But looking at it a little closer, it’s a smart low-risk, high-reward signing. Ryan has had some success with the Detroit Tigers, but a back injury slowed him in 2016. He spent most of last season with Triple-A Toledo. Barring a miracle, he’ll likely start with Iowa. But he could be depth the Cubs could use come September.
But could he turn out to be this year Brian Duensing?
