1. 新聞來源： mlbtraderumors 2. 新聞標題： Cubs To Sign Brandon Morrow 3. 新聞內容： By Connor Byrne | December 10, 2017 at 2:38pm CDT 3:54pm: It’s a two-year accord with an option for 2020, Jeff Passan of Yahoo Sports tweets. The deal is pending a physical. 2:38pm: The Cubs will sign Morrow to a contract worth $10MM to $11MM per year, according to Heyman. The length of the deal is not yet known (Twitter link). 2:03pm: The Cubs are “moving quickly” to sign free agent reliever Brandon Morrow, Bruce Levine of 670thescore.com reports (Twitter link). The two sides are “closing in” on an agreement, Jon Heyman of FanRag tweets. The Cubs’ interest in Morrow dates back to at least November, when Patrick Mooney of NBC Sports Chicago reported they had identified him as a target. Morrow is a Wasserman client. The Cubs’ need for Morrow is greater than it was a few weeks ago, considering they’ve since cut ties with Hector Rondon and haven’t re-signed any of Wade Davis, Brian Duensing or Koji Uehara. Those four were among the relievers Chicago relied on the most last season, leaving the club in clear need of bullpen help to complement holdovers Carl Edwards Jr., Pedro Strop, Mike Montgomery and Justin Wilson. Consequently, in addition to Morrow, the Cubs are likely to sign one other late-inning reliever, per Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic (Twitter link). The 33-year-old Morrow will provide a significant boost to the Cubs’ relief corps if last season is any indication. In his first full campaign as a reliever, the former Mariners, Blue Jays and Padres starter put past shoulder issues behind him to toss 43 2/3 innings with the National League-winning Dodgers and pitch to a 2.06 ERA, also notching 10.31 K/9 against 1.85 BB/9 and a 45 percent groundball rate. Moreover, the right-hander finished third among relievers with 40-plus innings in infield fly rate (20.6 percent) and 18th in swinging-strike percentage (16.0). Statistically, the hard-throwing Morrow wasn’t quite as successful during the Dodgers’ run to the World Series as he was in the regular season, yielding six earned runs in 13 2/3 innings, but four of those came in one disastrous appearance in Game 5 of the Fall Classic. He was highly effective otherwise – including when he held the Cubs scoreless over 4 2/3, one-hit, seven-strikeout innings in the National League Championship Series – and became the second hurler in major league history to pitch all seven games of the World Series. Morrow’s workload in last season’s playoffs, in which the Dodgers deployed him in an eye-popping 14 of 15 games, and injury history stand out as obvious concerns, but his 2017 dominance nonetheless has him in position to secure a lucrative contract. That’s quite a change from a year ago when Morrow had to settle for a minor league pact in late January. 4. 新聞連結： https://tinyurl.com/y8asqtp9 5. 備註： (1) 小熊以每年$10~11M的2年約附帶2020年選擇權簽下現年33歲的Brandon Morrow，合約待體檢完成即生效。 (2) 小熊不續約Hector Rondon，也還沒簽回Wade Davis、Brian Duensing或上原浩治，簽下Morrow預計將後段局數的任務交給他。 (3) 小熊隊明年預計的牛棚陣容： A.
