7 years agoChicago Cubs president of baseball operations Theo Epstein spoke at the Cubs convention this weekend and said that he has "faith" in relief pitcher Brandon Morrow if he is the team's closer in 2018. The Cubs can still add more arms and have shown interest in free-agent closer Greg Holland. Morrow has had plenty of health issues throughout his career but is coming off a strong season with the Dodgers. Morrow pitched to a 2.06 ERA with a 0.91 WHIP and 10.3 K/9 in 45 games this past season. Morrow does not have previous experience as a closer. Relievers Carl Edwards and Steve Cishek would be the best bet to handcuff with Morrow if he is indeed the Cubs closer entering 2018.--Daniel Burdeen - RotoBaller
