The Chicago Cubs release Shingo Takatsu
The Cubs have released veteran reliever Shingo Takatsu. “Mr. Zero” was anything but this spring for the Cubs as he was 0-1 with a 9.64 ERA and a 1.71 WHIP in 5 games. This is good for the Cubs who can focus on some of their younger pitchers for the bullpen instead of dealing with washed up pitchers.
