Appears to be officially official now...

 

Cubs signed RHP Kyuji Fujikawa to a two-year, $9.5 million contract.

Fujikawa will be introduced at a press conference Friday, but he's obviously already passed his physical in order to make the deal official. The Japanese import posted a 1.77 ERA and 11.8 K/9 across 12 seasons of Nippon Professional Baseball. Although the Cubs plan to start next season with Carlos Marmol as their closer, Fujikawa will be a popular fantasy selection for those speculating for saves.

first question from a female reporter, before she asked it whispered: "I don't do Japanese"

He really looks like they just pulled some hungover bro out of Wrigleyville, threw a suit on him and then tossed him up in front of the press.

 

And man, the Cubs' clubhouse never fails to look so hideous and embarrassing.

Rank the following: Fujikawa, Uehara, Soria, Burnett, and Grilli

how many wins is a good bullpen worth vs. having a terrible bullpen?

how many wins is a good bullpen worth vs. having a terrible bullpen?

 

On straight WAR, 5-6 wins.

 

Including leverage, 8-10.
