Righty reliever Jeremy Jeffress was one of the Cubs’ two guaranteed signings this winter, inking an $850,000 deal that makes him the highest-priced addition to a bullpen that looks like it was cobbled together in a consignment shop. That isn’t necessarily a critique, though, especially if a few things break the right way. Or, you know, don’t break at all.
That means towering righty Trevor Megill getting comfortable with the spike-curve grip and having lefty Brad Wieck recover successfully from a recent heart ablation procedure.
