Cubs, Genesis Cabrera Agree To Deal
Briefly

The Chicago Cubs have reached an agreement with reliever Génesis Cabrera, who just became a free agent after his tenure with the Mets. Cabrera, a left-hander known for his fastball velocity, had posted mixed results in the big leagues, dealing with command issues despite having decent swing-and-miss rates. An ex-Cardinals pitcher, he brings experience to the Cubs, who already benefit from strong veteran lefties in their bullpen. The exact nature of Cabrera's contract—whether minor league or big league—is yet to be revealed.
Cabrera, who recently became a free agent after being waived by the Mets, is now set to join the Cubs, though contract specifics are unclear.
Cabrera's career reflects significant potential with solid strikeout rates, but his persistent command issues have prevented him from fully realizing that potential.
The Cubs' bullpen already features two strong left-handed options, Drew Pomeranz and Caleb Thielbar, which could affect Cabrera's role with the team.
Cabrera previously spent five seasons with the Cardinals, adding experience against division rivals, before a mixed output with the Blue Jays this past season.
