Former Jays closer B.J. Ryan has signed a minor league deal with the Chicago Cubs. He'll look to join former Toronto teammates Ted Lilly, Reed Johnson and Randy Wells in the Windy City. He's to report to the Cubs rookie-level club in Mesa, Arizona on Sunday.

Is this a smart move by the Cubs to bolster their bullpen or an act of desperation in their bid to three-peat in the ultra-competitive National League Central? The floor is yours, Bauxites!
