The Cubs signed right-hander Shawn Camp to a minor league deal, MLB.com's Carrie Muskat reports (Twitter links). The Mariners released the reliever five days ago.
Camp spent the last four seasons with the Blue Jays, and posted a 4.21 ERA with 4.3 K/9, 3.0 BB/9 and a 53.5% groundball rate in 66 1/3 innings a year ago. The Blue Jays did not offer the right-hander arbitration after the season despite his Type B status.

Glad to see that these guys are going after former major league players like Rick Camp, who pitched with the Braves in the 70’s, 80’s. Wait, I’m sorry what, oh it’s Shawn Camp. Umm, who is Shawn Camp?

No idea why the M’s cut him. He had a decent spring.
Andrew Steven

someone has to say it: “low risk, high reward”

I think our bullpen will surprise a lot of people. It’s baseball. don’t expect too much but anything can happen. I believe we’ll be over .500.
