Brandon Morrow News
The Los Angeles Dodgers agreed to a minor league deal with relief pitcher Brandon Morrow on Friday, according to sources. Morrow will be returning to the Blue after pitching for the team in 2017, when he had a nice 2.06 ERA in 45 games while appearing in all seven World Series games later that year. The right-hander then signed a two-year, $21 million contract with the Cubs, but he's basically been injured since. The 36-year-old hasn't pitched in the big leagues since the final day before the 2018 All-Star break. Morrow also had a 1.47 ERA in 30 2/3 innings in the first half of 2018, so he can be effective when healthy, but at this point one has to wonder if he can stay healthy at all. He'll be a quality depth arm that could also pitch in some high-leverage situations if he proves healthy and effective.
The Chicago Cubs released relief pitcher Brandon Morrow on Wednesday, according to sources. The Cubs didn't expect Morrow to be in the mix for a spot on the roster this season before summer camp commenced. Morrow signed a two-year deal with the team before the 2018 season, but his time with Chicago was filled with injuries. He pitched in 30 games in 2018 with a 1.47 ERA and 22 saves, but injuries cut his season short. Elbow problems then forced him to miss the start of last year, and he was later ruled out for the year in August. Morrow didn't pitch earlier this spring. The right-hander could latch on with another team if he's healthy, but he's running out of chances.
Chicago Cubs relief pitcher Brandon Morrow (chest) has suffered a right chest muscle strain and is considered day-to-day. The Cubs brought Morrow back on a minor league deal this offseason, but after missing the entire 2019 season, the injury prone right-hander will need to be healthy to have any chance of breaking camp with the big league squad. He can be avoided in all formats.
