Velasquez Heads to Royals | Chicago Cubs News

Vince Velasquez, the veteran pitcher who briefly lit up the Cubs’ bullpen this season, has inked a minor league deal with the Royals and is headed to Triple-A Omaha. After just two appearances for Chicago — where he tossed over three innings without allowing a run — Velasquez opted for free agency over an outright assignment, signaling his desire to stay relevant. With a career record of 38-51 and an ERA of 4.86, Velasquez brings experience to Kansas City, where he’s likely to carve out a bullpen role. This marks his seventh team in a long MLB journey, most notably with the Phillies — and now, he’s back in the mix, chasing one last shot at the big leagues.
