HUGE BOOST: Cubs Confirm Replacement of Star Veteran Julian Vasquez with Player Dubbed ‘Having Superhuman Ability

Posted on May 13, 2025

After weeks of mounting frustration and late-game struggles, the Chicago Cubs have made a bold move: they have officially removed right-hander Julian Merryweather from their bullpen. This decision signals a clear shift in strategy as the Cubs look to stay competitive in the NL Central.

Merryweather, once a dependable middle-relief option, has seen his performance decline significantly, posting a 6.82 ERA over his last 12 outings. His recent blow-up on Sunday — his third blown save in just five games — appears to have been the final straw for the Cubs’ management.

“We can’t afford to keep bleeding games late,” said manager Craig Counsell during a press conference on Monday. “We needed to make a change, and it had to happen now.”

In place of Merryweather, the Cubs are turning to veteran right-hander Phil Maton, who has been solid in his recent Triple-A appearances. Known for his sharp slider and ability to handle pressure situations, Maton is expected to add stability and depth to the bullpen in high-leverage situations.

Sources confirm that Merryweather will be designated for assignment if he clears waivers, leaving his future with the Cubs uncertain. Fans quickly voiced their support for the decision, with many hopeful that Maton’s addition will provide the jolt the bullpen needs as the Cubs head into an important homestand.
