The 36-year-old hasn't pitched in the big leagues since the final day before the ...

The Chicago Cubs released relief pitcher Brandon Morrow on Wednesday, according to sources.

His option was worth $12 million, but he'll instead receive a $3 million buyout. Morrow isn't guaranteed to ...

Chicago Cubs president Theo Epstein said that relief pitcher Brandon Morrow (elbow) suffered another setback and will miss the rest of the season. The team's former closer hasn't pitched in the majors since before the All-Star break in 2018.
