Cubs Re-Sign Gabe Klobosits: High-Upside Reliever Could Force His Way Into 2027 Bullpen

The Chicago Cubs have re-signed right-handed relief pitcher Gabe Klobosits to a minor league deal. The 31-year-old spent the 2026 season pitching with the Triple-A Iowa Cubs, posting a 3.51 ERA with a 26.9% strikeout rate over 33.1 innings despite dealing with multiple stints on the injured list.

Standing 6-foot-8, Klobosits previously pitched in Major League Baseball for the Washington Nationals in 2021. Triple-A manager Marty Pevey praised his potential after his fastball topped out at 98.5 mph in August, positioning him to compete for a spot in Chicago's bullpen ahead of the 2027 season.
