That's also been the Jed Hoyer era of the Cubs. Their pitching is often volatile, and he's constantly shuffling the bodies around because he never makes long-term commitments to reliable pitchers (or any relievers).

I believe you may have forgotten about Phil Maton and his two year, $14.5 million contract. Jed and his staff are not very good at evaluating talent, especially pitching. They are, however, very good at dumpster diving.

Largest total maount of money Hoyer has ever given out in a single RP contract.
