The Cubs acquired Eli Morgan from the Guardians, despite his injury struggles in 2024, indicating their commitment to bolstering a struggling bullpen for the upcoming season.
Morgan, 28, brings a solid 1.93 ERA from the previous season's 32 games and projects as a crucial middle reliever, possibly seeing save opportunities.
In exchange for Morgan, the Cubs designated Patrick Wisdom for assignment, who struggled last season, batting just .171, reflecting the team's roster changes and strategic shifts.
Morgan's potential is highlighted by opposing batters hitting only .176 off his fastball last season, showing he can effectively contribute to the Cubs' pitching lineup.
