Cubs re-sign Putnam to minor league deal
Zach Putnam - R - Chicago Cubs
Jan. 5, 2013 - 1:35 PM ET

Cubs re-signed RHP Zach Putnam to a minor league contract.

A fifth-round pick in 2008, Putnam was non-tendered by the Cubs after being claimed off waivers in early November. The 25-year-old appeared in just two games with the Rockies last season, but posted a 4.15 ERA with 49 strikeouts over 60 2/3 innings at the Triple-A level. He should be a candidate for a bullpen spot in spring training.
