The Chicago Cubs have made a strategic move by acquiring reliever Eli Morgan from the Cleveland Guardians, while designating infielder Patrick Wisdom for assignment. This trade involves sending minor league outfield prospect Alfonsin Rosario to Cleveland.
Eli Morgan, 28, is looking to bounce back after a challenging 2024 season marred by injuries, but he boasts a solid career ERA of 3.97 over 161 games. His addition is expected to bolster a struggling Cubs bullpen.
Patrick Wisdom, 33, faced a decline in performance last season, leading to his reassignment as the Cubs transition to new talent.
