Cubs continue to stockpile bullpen depth, adding a former Dodgers draft pick

There's no such thing as too many pitchers in Major League Baseball. That approach has worked out quite well for Jed Hoyer and the Chicago Cubs in recent years, with a stockpile of arms playing a critical role in the team's success, especially in 2025, when multiple reclamation projects made key contributions under manager Craig Counsell.

Assemble a bunch of guys and let them duke it out in camp. At least, that's how it feels at this point in the offseason. The newest name to add? Jeff Brigham, a former fourth-round pick of the Los Angeles Dodgers back in 2014, who appeared in four games last year with the Arizona Diamondbacks.
