Chicago Cubs Sign Veteran Reliever Caleb Thielbar to One-Year Deal

The 37-year-old left-hander brings experience to the Cubs bullpen after eight seasons with the Minnesota Twins.

The Chicago Cubs have signed left-handed pitcher Caleb Thielbar to a one-year Major League contract.
Thielbar, 37, has spent his entire eight-season MLB career with the Minnesota Twins, compiling a 23-12 record and a 3.38 ERA in 347 relief appearances.
Last season, Thielbar posted a 5.32 ERA in 59 games, struggling early but improving his performance later in the year.
Known for his durability, Thielbar has made 50 or more appearances in three of the last four seasons and has increased his fastball velocity in recent years.
The Cubs continue to prioritize strengthening their bullpen as part of their offseason strategy.
