Caleb Thielbar Receives MLB deal from Cubs
The Cubs signed Thielbar to a one-year contract Tuesday, Jesse Rogers of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Thielbar will turn 38 in January and had a down 2024 season, posting a 5.32 ERA, 1.56 WHIP and 53:24 K:BB over 47.1 innings. However, he boasted a 30.6 percent strikeout rate and 7.0 percent walk rate from 2021 to 2023, so the left-handed reliever seems like a fine gamble on a one-year deal.
Caleb Thielbar Continues recent improvement
Thielbar threw two perfect innings while striking out two in Friday's 6-3 win over the Guardians.
Analysis: Thielbar struggled to start the season with a 8.04 ERA and 5.2 BB/9 in his first 15.2 innings. However, he's turned his season around since June 12 with a 2.81 ERA and 19:5 K:BB ratio in 16 innings. He had seemingly lost the ability to control his looping curveball early in the season, but has been back to top form recently. He could play a key role in high-leverage spots for the Twins with Brock Stewart out for the season due to a shoulder injury.
