He's not someone I know. Wasn't really high on prospect lists AFIAK. Looks like he's a below average k rate guy with big time ground ball rate(over 50% at basically every level). Minny had him relieving last year but I suspect cubs might push him back to starting like he was in 2016 if he stays with the club through the offseason. He's only 23.5 and he fits more the profile they look for out of starters than he does what they typically look for out of relievers. Probably more AAA depth than anything atm. He spent most of this past season in AA.

I honestly never heard of him before the report. Saw a vid on his slider and it was 86 with good sink.

I wouldn’t expect much here
