Hugo!

Innings eater type guy. They gave up minor league LHP Tyler Thomas.

Chavez, 34, is owed $1.5MM on the season under his one-year deal. While he has flown under the radar on a Rangers club that’s mired in last place, Chavez earned a reasonably lofty placement (#38) on MLBTR’s recent ranking of the 75 top summer trade candidates.

Much of the appeal in Chavez comes from his ability to function as a swingman. He has alternated between relief and rotation work over the past several seasons, generally providing useful innings in either capacity.

If Montgomery is traded, there's your replacement

Alright .... what am I not seeing about this guy?

Is it just to have a guy to mercilessly run into the ground and not take onto the playoff roster?

Chavez, 34, could be a good first step; the Cubs looked at him as a free agent in the offseason, too. He made 21 starts for the Angels last year and has a 3.51 ERA pitching exclusively as a reliever for the Rangers.

“Chavy’s good people,” said one-time Atlanta teammate Jason Heyward, who had three hits, including the tying single in the fifth. “He’s going to fit into this clubhouse really well and a guy who always wants the ball.”

“He’s a great guy, low-key,” said former Toronto teammate Morrow. “He’s got a rubber arm out of the bullpen and a swing guy that can do a lot of things well.”

For now, the Cubs will take the extra arm and look for more.

“Anytime there’s a deal, it’s always a positive, both morale-wise in the clubhouse and obviously on-the-field-performance-wise,” Cubs ace Jon Lester said.

Fuck! You beat me to it.
