Cubs DFA Veteran Pitcher Velasquez

Cubs shock fans by designating veteran pitcher Vince Velasquez for assignment ahead of Sunday’s finale, clearing a spot for call-up Jordan Wicks. Velasquez, a decade-plus MLB veteran with stops at Philly, White Sox, Astros, and more, brings experience but not elite stats — 38-51 record, ERA just under 5.00. His release isn’t a firing, just a roster move: other teams can claim him, or he could return to Triple-A. The move signals the Cubs’ ongoing roster reshuffling as they chase playoff positioning.
