Chicago Cubs agree to a 1-year contract with LHP Caleb Thielbar

The Chicago Cubs have agreed to a one-year contract with left-hander Caleb Thielbar

DECEMBER 31, 2024 • Associated Press

Receives MLB deal from Cubs The Cubs signed Thielbar to a one-year contract Tuesday, Jesse Rogers of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Thielbar will turn 38 in January and had a down 2024 season, posting a 5.32 ERA, 1.56 WHIP and 53:24 K:BB over 47.1 innings. However, he boasted a 30.6 percent strikeout rate and seven percent walk rate from 2021 to 2023, so the left-handed reliever seems like a fine gamble on a one-year deal.

Continues recent improvement Thielbar threw two perfect innings while striking out two in Friday's 6-3 win over the Guardians.

Impact Thielbar struggled to start the season with a 8.04 ERA and 5.2 BB/9 in his first 15.2 innings. However, he's turned his season around since June 12 with a 2.81 ERA amd 19:5 K:BB ratio in 16 innings. He had seemingly lost the ability to control his looping curveball early in the season, but has been back to top form recently. He could play key role in high-leverage spots for the Twins with Brock Stewart out for the season due to a shoulder injury.
