Hong-Chih Kuo has been looking for a new home since being released by the Mariners during spring training and the once-dominant and oft-injured left-hander has signed a minor-league deal with the Cubs.
Kuo has struggled to come back from elbow problems and anxiety issues, but when healthy was one of the best relievers in baseball with a 1.96 ERA and 201 strikeouts in 170 innings for the Dodgers from 2008 to 2010.
He was a mess last season, allowing 29 runs in 27 innings, but as far as no-risk fliers go he’s still worth a shot at age 30.
