The Cubs are in agreement with veteran righty on a minor league contract, Sahadev Sharma and Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic. The signing is pending a physical. Once finalized, itll presumably include a non-roster invite to big league camp for the OConnell Sports Management client. Flexen spent last season on the other side of Chicago. He inked a one-year, $1.75MM free agent deal with the White Sox. Flexen provided the Sox with a reliable source of innings. He led the team with 160 frames acro s 33 appearances. He turned in a 4.95 earned run average with a below-average 17.4% strikeout percentage and an 8.9% walk rate. While it wasnt the most exciting rate production, there was value in taking the ball every fifth day on an otherwise inexperienced pitching staff. That was particularly true in the second half, as Chicago had traded and was limiting to short starts to avoid overworking him. The 30-year-old Flexen has topped 100 innings in all four seasons since returning to affiliated ball after a stint in Korea. He posted a sub-4 Drew Pomeranz Jersey .00 ERA in consecutive years for the Mariners in 2021-22. The numbers took a turn for the worse in 23, as opponents tagged him for nearly seven earned runs per nine acro s 102 1/3 frames between Seattle and the Rockies. Flexen has an uphill battle to securing a spot in the Cubs rotation. , , and have the top four spots secured. seems the frontrunner for the final rotation job, though hell face competition from , and potentially swingman . If Rea ends up in long relief, theres limited flexibility amidst a bullpen that features a number of pitchers who cannot be optioned (e.g. , , , , , ). The Cubs could view Flexen as rotation depth for Triple-A Iowa. However, hell have the right to retest free agency if he doesnt break camp. Under the collective bargaining agreement, MLB free agents who sign minor league deals more than 10 days before Opening Day have three guaranteed opt-out opportunities: five days before Opening Day, May 1, and June 1. Flexen qualifies after finishing last season on the Soxs MLB roster. Tim Flannery Jersey
