More arms for the Northsiders.
The Chicago Cubs have agreed to a one-year deal with righty reliever Robert Gsellman. He is already at Cubs camp. In 2021, Gsellman had a 3.77 ERA in 17 appearances including one start. In the last two seasons, he has only pitched 42 2/2 innings total due to injuries. Overall, he has a 4.44 ERA over 308 innings including 34 starts in four seasons with the Mets. The Mets chose to non-tender him back in November. The Cubs also agreed to a deal with Adrian Sampson reportedly. He was impressive in his ten appearances with the Cubs with a 2.80 ERA over 35 1/3 innings last season. Both players will likely compete in a swing-man role because of their versatility.
