BREAKING: Cubs Make Bold Move, Land Lefty with Brutal Track Record in Blockbuster Bullpen Deal

Posted on May 13, 2025

In a move that’s raising eyebrows across the league, the Chicago Cubs are adding a new weapon to their bullpen — and he’s anything but conventional.

The team announced Monday that they’re calling up funky lefty reliever Kyle McMillian, a deceptive southpaw known for his wild arm angles, unorthodox delivery, and near-unhittable slider that’s been devastating batters in Triple-A. The 26-year-old has been described by scouts as “pure chaos on the mound” — and that’s exactly what the Cubs seem to be betting on.

“Every team’s got flamethrowers. We wanted something different — something hitters haven’t seen before,” said pitching coach Tommy Hottovy. “McMillian brings funk, deception, and attitude.”

McMillian, who’s drawn comparisons to former MLB oddballs like Pat Neshek and Donnie Elliott, holds opposing hitters to a .138 average this season and has 31 strikeouts in just 18.2 innings. But it’s not just the stats getting attention — it’s the style. His delivery includes a pause, a twist, and an almost sidearm flick that makes his slider look like it’s defying physics.

Fans have already started dubbing him “The Left-Handed Illusionist.”

The Cubs’ bullpen has struggled with consistency this season, and sources say McMillian could get high-leverage looks quickly if he impresses. With the NL Central race heating up, this could be the kind of outside-the-box move that gives Chicago the edge.

One thing’s certain: hitters won’t forget the first time they face him — if they even see the ball coming.
