Despite this, his durability and potential value to the Cubs' relief corps make him an appealing addition. The signing represents a more aggressive move for the Cubs, who have traditionally been cautious with bullpen spending. With plenty of payroll flexibility remaining, the Cubs may continue to make moves in what has been a relatively quiet offseason for the team.
