Stroman heads to Cubs

Marcus Stroman is taking his talents to the Midwest. The ex-Mets pitcher announced on Wednesday via Twitter he would be playing his next season of Major League Baseball with the Chicago Cubs. Stroman spent two and half seasons as a Met after being traded to Flushing by the Blue Jays in the middle of the 2019 season. He opted out of the coronavirus-pandemic shortened 2020 season and returned in 2021 to start 33 games. He finished last season with a 3.02 ERA (10-13) through 179 innings pitched.
