According to a report from Jon Paul Morosi, the Cubs “are currently engaged in negotiations” with right-handed reliever Kiko Calero.
The Cubs and Calero have been connected for months by the mainstream media. Calero is looking for a two-year contract … but the Cubs do not want to give him a multi-year deal. The Cubs are concerned about Kiko Calero’s injury history. Calero missed all but five games of the 2008 season with a torn rotator cuff. Then missed three weeks last year while with the Marlins. The 35-year old reliever topped a career-high in appearances (60) while missing nearly a month with inflammation in the same shoulder.
