Cubs Have Reportedly Signed Righty Reliever Joe Biagini to Minors Deal

According to Arizona Phil of The Cub Reporter, the Cubs have signed righty reliever Joe Biagini to a minor league deal. In the event that he is added to the 40-man roster at some point in 2021, Biagini is out of options and would have to be exposed to waivers. That might not seem like much of an issue coming off of a disastrous 2020 effort that, while very abbreviated, did nothing to counter very mediocre results from the previous three seasons.

The 30-year-old Biagini was taken by the Giants in the 26th round of the 2011 draft out of the College of San Mateo, then was plucked away by the Blue Jays in the 2015 Rule 5 Draft.
