The Cubs signed right-handed pitcher Jon Lieber to a 1 year deal worth 3.5 million dollars. Lieber, who won 20 games for the Cubs in 2001, is turning 38 in April but when he was on the Philadelphia Phillies he ruptured a tendon in his right foot causing him to miss the second half of the season. Lieber may be able to slide into the starting rotation's 4th or 5th spot. It appeared the Cubs had interest but nobody knew how serious it was.
My take: I have concerns about this signing because he's getting a little up there and he's coming back from injury. If he's in the rotation let's hope he fairs well.
