Cubs Nearing a Deal for Morrow

As I wrote yesterday, expect the Chicago Cubs to ramp up their efforts to sign a pitcher. I may have gotten the order flipped, but it appears the Cubs and free agent Brandon Morrow are nearing a deal. Both Fanrag’s Jon Heyman and CBS Sports Bruce Levine report.

This is very encouraging, even though Heyman can’t type.

According to sources the Cubs are moving quickly on free agent set man Brandon Morrow.Morrow crazy numbers include zero home runs allowed in surrendered in 45 games last season. 6-0 record -10 K per 9 innings pitched ( 1.9 walks per 9 innnings) 0.91 WHIP.

I have been on the Cubs signing Brandon Morrow for a while now. The rumors I have been chasing are coming to fruition. Those same sources point to the deal being 3 years at around $8 million per season.

I still think the Cubs continue this momentum and will ink Alex Cobb soon. Nothing I have heard tells me otherwise.

Thank you Hot Stove for finally making your way to Chicago!
