The Chicago Cubs have signed right-hander Trent Thornton to a minor league deal with a non-roster invitation to spring training, as announced by his trainers. The 32-year-old has seven MLB seasons under his belt, with a notable 3.65 ERA during his time with the Mariners. After recovering from a season-ending Achilles injury, Thornton is reportedly ahead of schedule in his rehab and fully capable of pitching. He will compete for a spot in a crowded Cubs bullpen, aiming to secure a role for the upcoming season.
