18 comments

1. Hey look a guaranteed contract in 2027

2. We got him.

3. 2.79 ERA last season.

4. Two year deal with a possible third. Awesome. Hey wait a minute I thought the Rickets wanted clean books!!!! I thought they were only doing one year deals!!!

5. 2 year deal? People for the last month told me that’s not possible for the Cubs. Jokes aside, very solid signing

6. BANG

7. Thank you!! Jed has bungled bullpen additions horribly last two offseasons. Good to see a solid multiyear deal. Obviously bullpen signings are a crapshoot but the formula needs to change

8. … are they allowed to do that?

9. Jed and co have my complete faith in assembling an ace bullpen. Welcome aboard Maton!

10. We’ve been missing a stoic RHP since Kyle Hendricks left

11. I have no idea how to feel about this so I’m just gonna say HELLLL YEAH

12. I’m shocked that Jed did a multi year deal for a reliever.

13. Very pleased with this!

14. Good get and it’s multi-year? Maybe the sky won’t fall after all

15. Pass the Maton

17. Oooohhh I like this signing

18. Signing Phil Maton is preferable to signing Phil Mabutt.
