CUBS ACQUIRE LEFTY RELIEVER BROTHERS Wednesday, November 25, 2015
The Chicago Cubs acquired pitcher Rex Brothers from the Colorado Rockies for pitcher Wander Cabrera.
What does it give the Chicago Cubs?
A true strikeout left-hander, Brothers has battled injury and inconsistency with the Rockies. He should get a fresh start with the Cubs and might become an integral part of their bullpen.
What does it give the Colorado Rockies?
Cabrera is a teenager, so he has several years of development ahead of him. Still, the Rockies did very well to land a promising prospect at age 18 in exchange for a player they had designated for assignment.
Fantasy Impact
Brothers has a lot of dark-horse appeal if he can rediscover past form and become far more consistent. His fantasy stock is on the rise as a Cub, while Cabrera is several years away from being on the radar.
