Kenta Maeda Signs With Cubs After Leaving Detroit Tigers
Kenta Maeda has signed with the Cubs, leaving the Detroit Tigers where he played as a right-handed relief pitcher.
What It Means
The Cubs' bullpen now includes a new arm with this addition. Maeda has pitched in seven games this season without making a start. His ERA stands at 7.88, and he has recorded eight strikeouts over eight innings.
The upcoming game against the White Sox at Wrigley Field may see some shifts in the bullpen lineup. Players like Julian Merryweather and Brad Keller might see their roles adjusted with Maeda joining the team. His recent performances show a road ERA of 3.38, contrasting with a higher home ERA.
