Cubs re-signed RHP Junichi Tazawa to a minor league contract.
This confirms a report from Jon Heyman of MLB Network. Tazawa was given his release over the weekend, but it didn’t take the two sides very long to hammer out a new agreement. He’ll begin the year in extended spring training and would make a $900,000 salary in the majors. The 32-year-old held a rough 7.07 ERA last year in 31 appearances with the Angels and Marlins.
