Reaches deal with new club
Morgan agreed to a contract with the Cubs to avoid arbitration Friday, Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune reports.
ANALYSIS
The Cubs acquired Morgan from the Guardians on Wednesday, and he should serve as a key member of their bullpen in 2025. He's suffered from some inconsistency during four big-league seasons, though he posted a 1.93 ERA and 0.98 WHIP across 42 regular-season innings in 2024.

2023 Fantasy Outlook
Morgan shifted to the bullpen last year after making 18 starts during a solid rookie campaign in 2021. The 26-year-old opened 2022 in long relief, but quickly ascended to high leverage work after month-long scoreless stretch, during which he compiled a 27:4 K:BB ratio and 0.50 WHIP over 20 innings. Morgan wasn't as sharp in the second half (4.26 ERA, 1.26 WHIP), but still managed five wins, 10 holds and an excellent 0.89 WHIP over a career-high 66.2 innings (50 appearances). Morgan's 28.1% strikeout and 5.1% walk rates were well above league average, while his 5.54 K/BB was 14th-best among qualified relievers. There is upside here from a pitcher who could have a flexible role throughout 2023, albeit without the name value of Tanner Houck or Garrett Whitlock.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Due for regression
Morgan has posted an excellent 0.64 ERA through 11 relief appearances, but his 1.36 WHIP suggests the former number isn't sustainable.
ANALYSIS
Morgan has been the king of escaping jams, allowing multiple hits in four of his last six appearances with only one run crossing the plate. The 26-year-old has flashed strong command, but as yet he hasn't been entrusted with the kind of high-leverage role in the Cleveland bullpen his ERA might otherwise predict.
