The Chicago Cubs have acquired 36-year-old Drew Pomeranz from the Seattle Mariners, adding depth to their minor league bullpen amid a shaky start, with a 5.19 ERA in relief. Pomeranz, who has not played in the majors since 2021, will report to Triple-A Iowa after a minor league stint with Seattle, where he recorded a 4.66 ERA in nine appearances. The left-hander has a prior connection to Cubs manager Craig Counsell from their time together in Milwaukee, and he has an overall record of 48-58 with a 3.91 ERA across 289 major league games.
