The Cubs should re-sign Pedro Strop

Does that surprise you? He’s been around a while and perhaps you thought he was older.

The Cubs could still use what I think Pedro can give them, and so I think they should re-sign him for 2020, despite his sub-par 2019.

From 2013-18, Strop was remarkably consistent in the Cubs bullpen after being acquired in the famous deal that also brought some guy named Jake Arrieta. His highest season ERA as a Cub through 2018: 2.91. His lowest: 2.21. Highest WHIP: 1.177. Lowest WHIP: 0.887. He combined good K rates with good walk rates.
