Cubs' Richard Bleier: Inks minors deal with CHC

Bleier signed a minor-league contract Thursday with the Cubs, Patrick Mooney of The Athletic reports.

Bleier has quickly found a new home after being released by the Red Sox last week. The veteran lefty reliever had struggled to a 5.28 ERA in 30.2 innings this season with Boston, but his career ERA sits at 3.27. He'll report to Triple-A Iowa for now.
