Cubs notes: New addition Cuas joins bullen; Bellinger wins monthly award. McGrawDHSports Cubs
When they made the trade with Kansas City on Monday, the Cubs weren't sure what they were going to do with reliever Jose Cuas. But Wednesday he was in the clubhouse, joining the roster when Marcus Stroman went on the injured list.
"I didn't see this coming at all," Cuas said."A couple years ago, I was delivering packages for FedEx. Now I'm here, jumping on board with a team that's trying to accomplish the postseason push." "I take it back to my days at shortstop. I threw four-seams across the infield. Now it's just trying to figure out how to throw a four-seam down low."
At one point, there was a chance he'd be traded before the deadline. After Tuesday's game, Bellinger was asked if Jed Hoyer ever told him he was off the market. "He was popular in the early conversations," Hoyer said of Bellinger."He's been everything we expected, but he's been better than we expected. He's a huge part of why we have so much confidence in this team."
