Brad Keller Likely To Be Added To The Roster
1 month agoThe Athletic's Patrick Mooney writes that Chicago Cubs right-hander Brad Keller will likely be added to the big-league roster at some point because he has an opt-out clause in his contract, and the Cubs wouldn't want to see him get taken by another team at the end of spring training. Keller has shown a velocity jump due to mechanical improvements and has opened eyes in the Cactus League, according to sources. If he's in the big leagues with the Cubs in 2025, Keller will earn a $1.5 million salary. In his seven innings in spring training action, the 29-year-old has allowed four runs while striking out six and walking one. Despite the fact that Keller is looking better this spring, he's still unlikely to be on the fantasy radar and could be ticketed for a long-relief role out of Chicago's bullpen in 2025. In seven big-league seasons, he's had a 4.34 ERA, 1.45 WHIP, two saves and a weak 17.1% strikeout rate.
