5/01/24 Chicago Cubs fans must see the insane ending to victory over the New York Mets. Given the bullpen struggles, specifically closing out games, Cubs fans have grown used to holding their breaths whenever the North Siders are in a save situation. Veteran Hector Neris has been the reliever that Cubs' manager Craig Counsell in place of Adbert Alzolay as the team's closer and Neris was on the mound on Wednesday as he tried to earn his fifth save in as many opportunities. For Neris, while he has converted each save opportunity that he has faced this season, it hasn't been clean.

4/30/24 Insider Says Chicago Cubs New Closer Isn't Long For Role Despite Success. Insider Says Chicago Cubs New Closer Isn't Long For Role Despite Success The Chicago Cubs already switched up their closer one time this season, and it seems like another change could be coming soon despite the success of their current pitcher in that role. Author: Brad Wakai Apr 30, 2024 In this story: Chicago Cubs Hector Neris MLB Many fans of the Chicago Cubs were asking for the team to make a change to their closer role after Adbert Alzolay blew a Major League-high four saves. Manager Craig Counsell also decided that was the smart thing to do and ultimately made their offseason signing Hector Neris the closer. So far, the results have been good. In the last four save opportunities he's had,

4/15/24 Cubs' big Hector Neris problem could go from bad to worse if this happens. Hector Neris has been a disaster for the Chicago Cubs in the early going. Now, we're not even 10% of the way through the 2024 season (not that you'd know it by scrolling Twitter) and there's time for the veteran to re-discover what made him such a reliable bullpen arm in recent years. With six walks in five appearances, it's been all bad for Neris. Right now, though, as our friends at Bleacher Nation pointed out, there's not a whole lot the Cubs can do besides hope he can work through it.

3/25/24 This Chicago Cubs offseason grade highlights a major concern. The Chicago Cubs concluded their Cactus League scheduled on Sunday with the focus now shifting to the start of the regular season on Thursday. The Cubs are entering the 2024 season with the expectation of winning the National League Central but their offseason has allowed for doubt to remain with that prediction. It's not that the Cubs had a bad off-season, however, it was one that left many fans with a desire for more. The Cubs were opportunistic with their additions as Hector Neris and Shota Imanaga both represent much-needed improvements to their pitching staff while on team-friendly deals.

New Chicago Cubs Reliever Makes "Fabulous" Gesture to Minor Leaguers Hector Neris, the Chicago Cubs new reliever, is already endearing himself to the organization. Author: Kade Kistner Publish date: Mar 17, 2024 2:00 PM EDT In this story: Chicago Cubs The Chicago Cubs made some significant moves this offseason but one that could really payoff is the one they made to bolster their bullpen. During the 2023 MLB season, the Cubs bullpen was the unit that was the shakiest to start the season and ended up costing Chicago multiple games. In order to address those concerns the front office went out and signed veteran reliever Hector Neris to a one-year, $9 million deal. A fair offer for a 35-year-old

With a veteran team and players who have been in the organization for multiple years now, there aren't many storylines in Spring Training. While much has stayed the same, the Astros did lose Hector Neris, Ryne Stanek, and Phil Maton this offseason. Losing three veteran relievers who proved to be able to get outs at a high level will hurt Houston more than many think. Signing Josh Hader

With the Cubs' first official full-squad workout scheduled for Monday, talk around camp has been optimistic. ''We struggled in September and fell a game short with a team that I feel like probably should have been in the postseason,'' president of baseball operations Jed Hoyer said at the start of camp. ''And I think we've added some really good players this winter. The Cubs did bolster the pitching side. The bullpen, which was relatively green last season, should benefit from more experience and the offseason signing of veteran Hector Neris.

2/03/24 Cubs Sign Pirates, Mariners Farmhand. Chicago Cubs Sign Long-Time Pirates, Mariners Farmhand The Chicago Cubs signed a reliever with nearly 200 career minor-league appearances since 2017. Author: Matthew Postins Publish date: Feb 3, 2024 7:00 PM EST In this story: Chicago Cubs The Chicago Cubs added to their ledger of minor-league signings with a deal to bring pitcher Blake Weiman to the team, per the MLB Transactions log. Weiman was signed on Friday and then assigned to Triple-A Iowa on Saturday. Weiman is another arm the Cubs can try out as they toy with their bullpen for the 2024 season. The Cubs recently signed Hector Neris, which helped solidify their eighth inning slot, assuming that Adbert Alzolay remains the team's closer.

2/01/24 Reliever Hector Neris and Chicago Cubs finalize $9 million, 1-year contract. Reliever Héctor Neris and the Chicago Cubs finalized a $9 million, one-year contract on Thursday, a deal that includes option and performance bonuses that could increase its value to about $22 million over two seasons. The 34-year-old right-hander gets a $9 million salary this year, and the agreement includes a $9 million team option for 2025. The option would become a player option if Neris pitches in 60 games this season or finishes 45, is not on the injured list for the final game of the season and does not have a significant injury.

1/26/24 Are Yankees trying to squeeze Hector Neris, or do they have another bullpen plan?. This was an item in our free, twice-weekly offseason newsletter, “Fixing the Yankees,” sent to subscribers on Friday morning. Mets fans still probably get disgusted just hearing Carlos Baerga's name. The switch-hitting Puerto Rican was the best hitting second baseman in the game from 1991, his first full season, until the Mets got him in a trade with the Indians in 1996. For the Mets, Baerga mostly was terrible, mediocre or hurt for 2 ½ seasons.

1/25/24 Yankees making low offers to solidify bullpen late in free agency. The Yankees, currently focused on bullpen pieces, have talked to Hector Neris, Phil Maton, Ryan Brasier and Wandy Peralta. But they are alleged to be making low offers, perhaps due to the calendar or a supply-demand perception. As YES' Jack Curry said, they could instead bring back Keynan Middleton instead. He'd cost less. Though the Yankees made an offer for Blake Snell, part of their hesitation in extending what Snell's camp considers a “market” bid seems to be the rough first year of Carlos Rodon, who got $162 million. Snell's camp points out he's differentiated by winning two Cy Youngs, having no past Tommy John, more recent innings (486 ²/3 since 2020) and even better platform year. 3 Hector

Martino reports that the Yankees remain interested in the right-hander, but that the Mets are also involved at “[Neris'] asking price — which, according to sources, is for one or two years at $7-11 million per year.” Another Yankees target, Wandy Peralta, has also reportedly been in contact with the Mets. The Yankees' crosstown rival seems interested in adding a reliever, as the Mets have also been linked to Adam Ottavino and Aroldis Chapman.
