The Cubs have signed 37 year old Hector Carrasco. Don't panic, it's to a minor league deal. Carrasco, right-handed relief pitcher, was released by the Pirates at the close of Spring Training. I guess someone thought it was worth a shot, because this is at best a perplexing move. Do the Cubs need a 37 year old right-handed reliever in case of emergency? A guy who the Pirates released? If this guy is called up, the Cubs are in trouble.
