The Chicago Cubs acquire 22-year old Brian Schlitter from the Phillies
The Cubs found a taker for Scott Eyre in the Philadelphia Phillies. Schlitter is a righty reliever who was pitching very well at A-Clearwater for the Phillies. Schlitter has pitched in 34 games (0 starts) this season in A-ball and he is 4-3 with 6 saves, a 2.22 ERA and a 1.23 WHIP. I’m a little surprised that the Cubs got such a good arm for Scott Eyre so kudos to the front office in making a shrewd move.
