Cubs Re-sign Angel Guzman

[Keener98]

The Chicago Cubs outrighted pitcher Angel Guzman off the 40-man roster on Thursday. He cleared waivers to become a free agent and has agreed to a minor-league contract with the Cubs and an invitation to spring training, according to a major league source.

 

Good to hear. Hopefully he can make it back and be a contributor out of the bullpen.

Hope it is for 30,000 and a herd of goats. Talented but I am seeing that glass body shattering again. Hope not though

$30,000 is below the league minimum and herds of goats aren't legal tender.

Man Angel has been with this organization for so long. It's kind of hard to believe he's only contributed to the ML club for maybe 2 seasons, 2007 where he spot started for awhile and 2009 when he was the 7th inning guy behind Marmol and G****.

 

I remember Peter Gammons pimping Guzman on Baseball Tonight back in 2003.

To be fair, it's a minor league contract and not subject to the league minimum.

 

To be realistic, if it were for that much below league minimum, he'd sign with another team.
