(670 The Score) Reliever Pedro Strop will get another opportunity to earn a job with the Cubs.
Strop has agreed to a minor league deal with the Cubs that includes an invite to big league camp in spring training, Russell Dorsey of the Sun-Times and other outlets reported Wednesday morning. Strop had a standout tenure in playing for the Cubs from 2013-'19 before signing with the Reds ahead of the 2020 season. He then made just four appearances for the Reds, posting a 3.86 ERA, before being designated for assignment, after which he signed with the Cubs last September but didn't appear in a game for Chicago down the stretch.
Strop, 35, had a 2.90 ERA in his previous six-and-a-half seasons in Chicago. He had a 4.97 ERA for the Cubs in 50 appearances in 2019.
