The Chicago Cubs made a couple of transactions as they pruned their minor league roster at Triple-A Iowa.
Both were on minor-league deals, so they’re not opening up space for players on the Major League roster. The Cubs did agree to a minor-league deal with Josh Staumont, which was reported on Friday. This move could be related to getting space on the staff for Staumont.
In 2019 he migrated overseas, as he signed with the Lotte Giants in the KBO League and went 15–4 record with a 2.50 ERA and a league-leading 205 strikeouts in 2020. He never earned a call-up with the Cubs, as he started 16 gams and made a relief appearance in another. He went 1-7 with a 5.49 ERA with the Iowa Cubs in 78.2 innings. He struck out 75.
