Cubs Castoff Cut By New Team Immediately After Disastrous Outing
The Chicago Cubs received a surprising roster update on a former contributor who joined a World Series contender right before the playoffs.
Chicago Cubs released pitcher Jake Woodford immediately following his disastrous debut with the Tampa Bay Rays. The 29-year-old had spent the previous month with the Rays, but his stint was short-lived after allowing multiple runs in just one and one-third innings. Woodford, who signed a minor league deal with Tampa after being cut by the Cubs in August, now finds himself on the waiver wire, with little chance of rejoining a team before the end of the season.
