Michael Arias, 21, took off this year with a combination of a fastball that has reached the upper-90s at times and a changeup that is probably big-league-ready at this moment. That said, I am relieved to know the Cubs aren’t at risk for losing these guys. Sometimes, that’s all it takes for a rebuilding club to try to stash a pitcher in their bullpen, even if the pitcher has only been very low level in the minors or has not yet shown results at the higher levels. It’s a mild surprise to see the Cubs adding three pitchers here, but each of the three was at least at some risk of being selected next month in the draft, because each of the three has premium stuff.
