Pedro Strop is in Chicago

While I was in my old man slumber because as you can see by the time of this blog publishing, I sleep like a senior citizen, Pedro Strop was apparently in Chicago per his instagram story. In case you're not familiar, Strop is one of the most underrated and under-appreciated Cubs ever. He never had an ERA over 2.91 or a FIP under under 3.50 for the entirety of his Cubs career with the exception of last year which in which he struggled. So what does that mean? Not only is he coming off a year in which he struggled, he's coming off an injury, and is 35. Does that make it worth the flier for the Cubs?

Yes, yes it does you big dumb idiot. This bullpen STINKS. There is literally no arm that you can trust to come out of there and pump a lineup down in 11 pitches comfortably. Does Strop fix that? Maybe. Maybe not, but it can't hurt to find out.

Not only is he worth the flier on the field, he is great for morale. He is an infectious personality that was universally loved in the clubhouse. He was known as the guy that would hype up Javy when he was struggling and helping him get back on track. 

We'll see if he ends up back at 1060 W. Addison, but I know of one guy that would be beyond thrilled if this goes down.
