Jed Hoyer told reporters at the GM Meetings that the Chicago Cubs would look at every level to address their need for pitching, and he is a man of his word. The Cubs have reportedly completed their first signing of the offseason, but it's a move that will allow for the jokes to write themselves. The Cubs have signed right-handed pitcher Sam Mettert to a minor-league deal.
If you have no idea who Mettert is, trust us, you're not alone. The 22-year-old from St. John's University went undrafted earlier this season and recently spent his time working out at Tread Athletics.
