Cubs get Wade Davis in trade with Royals
The Chicago Cubs acquired reliever Wade Davis from the Kansas City Royals for outfielder Jorge Soler.
The trade comes with some risk due to Davis' questionable health, but the Cubs must not be too concerned since he cleared the physical. If the 31-year-old is able to provide his services, this should prove to be a great add for the defending champ's bullpen.
Davis turned in a sparkling 1.87 ERA in 43 1/3 innings this season, but his 3.68 xFIP was significantly higher. Despite posting a strikeout percentage (26.7) in 2016 that was down from totals in the 30's the past two seasons, it remained above league average (21.1 percent).
