Cubs Lose RHP Ryan Jensen to Mariners Via Waivers

Related Topics: Ryan Jensen, Chicago Cubs

Righty Ryan Jensen was viewed by some as a dark-horse candidate to earn some spot starts or work out of the bullpen in Chicago after retooling his mechanics last year. He had a funky delivery with an incredibly long arm stroke that saw his right hand nearly touch the mound on the back side, so the Cubs placed him on the development list last May to tighten things up. The new move appeared to have aided his control issues, spurring the Cubs to place him on the 40-man roster last winter to protect him from the Rule 5 Draft.
