Overview
- Reporter Ari Alexander said Monday that Chicago agreed to a minor-league contract with Klobosits, with no spring invite disclosed.
- Offseason sessions reportedly touched 98 mph, an increase from his mid-90s velocities in previous affiliated stops.
- Klobosits last pitched in the majors in 2021 with the Nationals, logging 11 appearances and a 5.56 ERA.
- He revived his profile in independent leagues with ERAs near 2.00 for Gastonia, High Point, and Cleburne across 2024–2025.
- The Cubs view the pact as low risk with potential bullpen upside if his gains translate, and he retains a minor-league option.
