Cubs Make Roster Decision
Before Saturday’s game, the Cubs announced a roster move with Corbin Martin.
Patrick Mooney of The Athletic wrote: “With Daniel Palencia sidelined, the Cubs are adding Corbin Martin to their bullpen and moving Cade Horton to the 60-day injured list.”
Martin’s MLB Background
Martin was picked in the second round of the 2017 MLB Draft.
He spent the first year of his career playing for the Houston Astros (2019).
Following Houston, Martin played two seasons for the Arizona Diamondbacks.
Martin played last season for the Baltimore Orioles.
He appeared in a career-high 17 games, going 1-0 with a 6.00 ERA.
MLB Social Media Reacts To Martin Decision
Here’s what people were saying about the decision to select Martin:
@aztecs858: “Corbin Martin was the free agent reliever signing I was most intrigued by this offseason, for what it’s worth. I think he’ll be a guy for us.”
@Cubsin7Blog: “I wrote about newly promoted Corbin Martin before the season. He’s never had success in the majors, and I thought he was a longshot to contribute this season. But he has two things the #Cubs need right now: he’s healthy and pitches with his right arm.”
@TryanproduceTom: “Just how many runs will Martin give up before he’s released? I’ll go with 5 by Sunday.”
@NumbersMLB: “RHP Corbin Martin will wear number 38. Last worn by RHP Aaron Civale in 2025.”
