Cubs add bullpen arm Cuas, send Velazquez to Kansas City. McGrawDHSports Cubs
Not long after landing third baseman Jeimer Candelario from Washington, the Cubs added an intriguing bullpen arm.
Cuas, a Dominican Republic native, made his major league debut last season. He's posted a 7-2 record with 1 save and a 4.08 ERA over the past two seasons. Fangraph's Stuff-plus metric, which looks at physical characteristics of a pitch, has Cuas' fastball ranked in the top 10 in MLB, so the Cubs clearly think there's something to work with. Opposing batters are hitting .100 off his fastball, though he's thrown it just 16.8% of the time this season.
