The Chicago Cubs could look to sign veteran righty David Robertson after their blockbuster trade for Ryan Pressly.

Pressly has already spoken with Cubs manager Craig Counsell and Cubs president of baseball operations Jed Hoyer.

Ryan Pressly said approving a trade to the Cubs was one of hardest decisions but he's ready to prove he can be a closer again in Chicago.

The Chicago Cubs acquired right-hander Ryan Pressly and cash from the Houston Astros on Tuesday for minor league pitcher Juan Bello. Pressly likely slides into the closer's role with Chicago, which is looking to go back to the playoffs for the first time since 2020.

The Astros-Ryan Pressly divorce may have been in the works since last winter. Houston general manager Dana Brown admitted Tuesday that his relationship with the closer “took a slightly different turn” when the franchise signed Josh Hader to a five-year, $95 million contract a year ago, pushing Pressly into a setup man role.

After seven years with the Houston Astros, pitcher Ryan Pressly will be starting a new chapter in his MLB career. Pressly decided to waive his no-trade clause, paving the way for the Astros to send him to the National League for pitcher Juan Bello.

The Chicago Cubs finally made a big-time addition to their bullpen, acquiring Ryan Pressly and cash considerations from the Houston Astros on Sunday.

The Chicago Cubs remain on the hunt to add one more big name to the roster before Opening Day in Japan against the Dodgers on March 19. Some of the major needs for the team have been addressed already this offseason,

Reliever Ryan Pressly had one knock on Kyle Tucker, his longtime Astros teammate and the Cubs ’ new star right fielder. “Not the best fantasy football owner, I know that,” Pressly said in his introductory news conference over Zoom this week.
