Cubs acquire Jesse Chavez in trade with Rangers

Chicago Cubs logo

The Chicago Cubs have added another relief pitcher to their bullpen.

Chicago acquired pitcher Jesse Chavez in a trade with the Texas Rangers on Thursday. The Cubs dealt minor league lefty Tyler Thomas in return.

Chavez has spent time during his career as both a starter and reliever. He’s been working exclusively as a reliever this season and carries a 3.51 ERA with 50 strikeouts in 56.1 innings this season.

The move adds some depth to the Cubs bullpen, which is without Brandon Morrow, who is currently on the DL.

Thomas, a 7th-round pick last year, is 3-5 with a 2.88 ERA in Single-A this season.
