Pedro Strop weighing offers from several clubs; Cubs and Rangers among those interested
Veteran reliever Pedro Strop appears to be close to making a decision on where he will spend the 2020 MLB season.
According to a report from Sportsnet’s Ben Nicholson-Smith, the 34-year old Dominican has received contract offers from at least three different teams. It is yet to be determined which exact teams are involved, but we do know that the Chicago Cubs, Miami Marlins, Milwaukee Brewers and Texas Rangers have all expressed interest in his services this offseason.
Strop is coming off an underwhelming 2019 campaign with the Cubs, posting a 2-5 record, 4.97 ERA and 1.27 WHIP in 50 appearances. It ended a streak of six straight seasons where he finished with an ERA under 3.00.
He will be entering his 12th MLB season in 2020.
