Cubs Release Brandon Morrow
4 years agoThe 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.
