There was a claim today as the Cubs finally seemed to make some use of their roster space, as Chicago North claimed pitcher Ryan Rolison off waivers from the South Siders. Far be it for me, a weakling, to say he’s a soft-tosser, but a lefty chucking low-90s can be quite useful and we will see how the Cubs deploy him if he indeed pans out.
The bigger news, of course, is that the Cubs are finalizing a trade for Marlins starter Edward Cabrera, who had injury issues as recently as last season, but did end the season throwing the last two starts available to him.
