The Chicago Cubs have officially signed Kenta Maeda to a minor league contract, hoping the 37-year-old pitcher can reclaim his former prowess. After struggling with the Detroit Tigers, where he posted a 7.88 ERA, Cubs manager Craig Counsell emphasized the need for continuous communication to help Maeda adjust. The Cubs are currently facing challenges in their rotation, with three key starting pitchers on the injured list, including Justin Steele, who is out for the season. Maeda's previous successes in MLB could provide the Cubs with a much-needed boost.
"I think it's a player that you got to have a constant conversation with, and see where we can maybe make some adjustments and see where he's at," Counsell said.
"For now, we're just continuing to throw," Counsell said. "He's kind of having a high day, a medium day, a low day throwing, but continuing to throw every day on that kind of rotational cycle."
