It's time to turn your hats to the left. Pedro Strop is coming back to the Cubs.
Per Mike Rodriguez, fan-favorite right-handed reliever Pedro Strop signed a minor league contract with the Cubs on Wednesday. Strop will have the chance to make the major league squad with the invite to Spring Training.
