JOSH OSICH OFF TO THE CUBS

The Chicago Cubs acquired pitcher Josh Osich from the Boston Red Sox for a player to be named later (Zach Bryant - 02/27/2021).

What does it give the Chicago Cubs
With the Cubs, left-hander Osich will likely pitch in middle or long relief. He has also served as an opener in the past, so that could also be an option. He provides depth and options.

What does it give the Boston Red Sox
With the Red Sox in last place this season, there was no need to keep a 31-year-old reliever like Osich in the fold. Boston will not receive much in return, though.

Fantasy impact
There is no fantasy impact here, as Osich is a depth reliever and nothing more.
