Bear resigned the right one Caleb Kilian Tommy Birch of the Des Moines Register reported that he signed a minor league contract. He will return to Iowa after being released over the weekend.
Chicago was designated as Kilian for mission last Thursday Tom Cosgrove In a deal with San Diego. At that time, Kilian was on the minor league injury list. The team cannot completely give up injured players. The Bears need to trade Kilian after DFA or release it. The vast majority of such players will be released. Once they cleared the immunity, they were free to talk to all 30 clubs, although their former teams were common, trying to get them back to the minor league deal.
In this case, that's what happened, so Kilian stuck with the Cubs after a few days in the open market. He has been in the organization since the 2021 deadline. Bears acquires Killian and outfielder Alexander Canario From the Giant Kris Bryant trade. At the time, both players had quite good prospects, although neither has been eliminated so far. Canario's huge power has been weakened by a huge strikeout. During the offseason, the Cubs moved away from him.
Kilian made eight appearances in three seasons. Texas Tech products allow an average run of 9.22 in the 27 1/3 major league innings. He walked away 20 batsmen with 21 strikeouts. He has a 4.37 ERA at 274 frames in part of his four seasons at Triple-A. His strikeout rate of 21.8% is slightly above average and his walking percentage is 9.2%. Killian only took Iowa once this year. He gave up six runs in 2 1/3 innings before being sent to Illinois for undisclosed injuries. Once his health is enough to return to the mound, he will become a non-slow spin or long relief depth.
