After signing veteran reliever Phil Maton, team president Jed Hoyer says the Cubs remain interested in adding another high-leverage reliever.
“We’ll be in that market,” Hoyer said. “Whether we end up signing someone or not, I don’t know. Depends how other teams value them. I think we’ll definitely be in that market, and we’ll obviously sign more relievers this offseason.”
Based on information from league sources, the Cubs showed interest in Emilio Pagán late in the process before he signed a two-year, $20 million deal to return to Cincinnati. The Cubs remain interested in a potential return of Brad Keller. Pete Fairbanks is someone they’ve kept tabs on as well.
