Chicago Cubs: former 2.13 ERA reliever signs minor league deal with Minnesota Twins
The Chicago Cubs have been working all off-season on adding affordable arms ahead of Spring Training. And now that pitchers and catchers have officially reported, these pitchers are competing for spots on the Opening Day roster. As is the case every off-season, some of the players in camp are on minor league deals, but can be added to the Major League roster if they perform well. The cost-conscious Cubs would, undoubtedly, prefer this to happen.
However, one former Chicago pitcher that could have been brought back, Andrew Chafin, was not looked at by the Cubs, and is now signing an affordable minor league deal with the Minnesota Twins.
Former Chicago Cubs LHP Andrew Chafin has signed with the Minnesota Twins
Chafin, who had a 2.41 ERA in 42 games with the Washington Nationals and Los Angeles Angels last season, went unsigned all off-season until the Twins gave him a minor league contract with an invitation to Major League Spring Training on Saturday:

Chafin appeared in 47 games for Chicago between 2020-21. During that time, he was 0-3 with a sterling 2.13 ERA.
Indeed, over the course of his 12-year MLB career, Chafin has been a fairly reliable left-handed reliever. The main exceptions to this would be the 2020 and 2023 seasons. Prior to being acquired by the Cubs in 2020, Chafin was 1-1 with an 8.10 ERA for the Arizona Diamondbacks. However, after coming to Chicago, he was 0-1 with a 3.00 ERA that year.
In 2023, Chafin posted a 4.19 ERA in 43 games back with Arizona. He was acquired by the Milwaukee Brewers at the trade deadline, but was even worse. In 20 games with Milwaukee, he posted a dreadful 5.89 ERA.
Over the last two seasons, however, Chafin is 5-4 with a 3.10 ERA in 104 appearances.
