Cubs looking to beef up bullpen with in-house talent.
When it comes to assembling the bullpen, Cubs president of baseball operations Jed Hoyer has a vision.
This winter Hoyer signed another batch of relievers, headed by Brad Boxberger, Michael Fulmer and Ryan Borucki.Between draft picks and trade acquisitions, the Cubs have been stockpiling young pitchers and some of them are ready to help out in the bullpen this season. Acquired from the Yankees last August in a trade that sent Scott Effross to New York, the 26-year-old Wesneski was 3-2 with a 2.18 ERA in 6 games after joining the Cubs.
"He's a really important piece to us, but we're going to do what's right by him for the season," Ross told reporters at Cubs camp in Arizona."We have righties that can get lefties out at a high rate."
