Neidert (knee) signed a minor-league deal with the Cubs on Friday, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports.
He underwent knee surgery in September, so it's unclear if he will be a full go for spring training. Neidert was non-tendered by the Marlins this offseason. His deal with Chicago includes opt outs on June 1 and July 1. The 26-year-old righty usually works as a starter, but with a career 4.59 ERA and 28:25 K:BB in 49 MLB innings, he may have a better shot of reaching the majors as a reliever.
