The Marlins’ Steve Cishek works against the Giants on May 8, 2015. Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...
The Cubs continued to add depth to their bullpen Thursday by agreeing to terms on a two-year contract with reliever Steve Cishek.
Cishek, 31, gives the Cubs a different dimension with his sidearm delivery. The right-hander posted a 2.01 ERA in 49 appearances with the Mariners and Rays in 2017.
Cishek has a lifetime 2.73 ERA in 422 appearances over seven seasons. He has limited right-handed batters to a .205 batting average and has 121 career saves, most of them coming in 2012-14 with the Marlins and in 2016 with the Mariners.
The deal will be official once Cishek passes a physical.
