Cubs Reunite with Carl Edwards Jr. on Minors Deal

Ed. note: The Cubs signed righty reliever Hector Neris as I was writing this, so you’re welcome.

The Cubs haven’t been too interested in adding new relievers, but they brought back an old one on Friday. As first reported by Robert Murray of FanSided, the team has agreed to a minor-league deal with 32-year-old righty Carl Edwards Jr. Selected by the Rangers in the 48th round of the 2011 draft, Edwards, who you may recall went by CJ back in the day, was sent to Chicago as part of the Matt Garza trade in 2013.
