Koji Uehara signs with Cubs

Koji Uehara (RP - FA)

Koji Uehara signed a one-year deal with the Chicago Cubs for $6 million.

Fantasy Impact
Uehara had spent a majority of his career pitching in the AL East, so the move to Chicago and the NL should only help his totals. He's been impressive during his time in America, and if he continues to produce he could be useful for fantasy purposes regardless of his late-inning role. That being said, he's not expected to be the team's closer out of the gate with fellow offseason acquisition Wade Davis expected to fill that role.
