Chicago Cubs Sign 7-Year Player
The Cubs have dealt with a lot of injuries this season.
According to MLB Rumors, the team has now signed Ty Blach to a minor league deal.
The 35-year-old last played in an MLB game during the 2024 season.
Tommy Birch of Des Moines Register wrote (on Tuesday): “The Cubs have signed LHP Ty Blach and assigned him to the @IowaCubs. No official word but I’m guessing this is a minor league deal.”
Blach’s MLB Career
Blach was picked in the fifth round of the 2012 MLB Draft.
He spent the first three and a half seasons of his career with the San Francisco Giants.
During the 2018 season, Blach went 6-7 with a 4.25 ERA in 47 games (13 starts).
Following the Giants, Blach spent part of one season with the Baltimore Orioles.
He then missed the 2020 season.
More recently, Blach played for the Colorado Rockies from 2022-24.
Over 156 career games, he has gone 23-33 with a 5.42 ERA.
While Blach is far from his prime, he adds good depth to their organization.
