The Chicago Cubs have bolstered their bullpen by claiming right-handed reliever Trey Wingenter off waivers from the Boston Red Sox. This opportunity arose due to an open spot on the Cubs’ 40-man roster, which was available after the MLB trade deadline passed.
Wingenter is known for his powerful fastball and strikeout capabilities, making him a potential asset in high-pressure situations as the Cubs aim to strengthen their pitching staff for the rest of the season.
Currently, Wingenter is assigned to the Cubs’ Triple-A affiliate, the Iowa Cubs, where he can refine his skills and be on standby for a possible promotion to the major league team. This decision reflects the Cubs’ strategy of enhancing their pitching depth while maintaining roster flexibility.
By adding Wingenter, the Cubs show their commitment to building a competitive roster capable of facing the season’s challenges while nurturing talent within their organizatio.
