Chatwood made sense given his splits, spin rate, and age. Morrow just doesnt make sense to me as an option to be your closer. He hasn't pitched 50 innings since 2013 when he managed to make it a whopping 54 innings when he was still a starter. At least its only 2 years.

It's a great signing. I'd place decent odds on him performing at or above the same level as Wade Davis the next two years.
Cubs go out and get Cobb now, and they'll have added two good starters, and a guy who can be an elite closer for the same price of bringing back Arrieta.
Love those moves.
