Cubs' Dan Straily: Signs split contract with Cubs
Straily signed a split contract with the Cubs on Thursday, Craig Mish of the Miami Herald reports.
Straily, 35, spent some time at Triple-A Reno in the Diamondbacks organization in 2022 but aside from that has pitched in the Korea Baseball Organization since 2020. He last appeared in the majors in 2019 with the Orioles. Straily presumably will be assigned to Triple-A Iowa, although he could initially go to extended spring training or a lower affiliate.

Dan Straily: Returns to KBO
The Diamondbacks granted Straily his release from his minor-league deal Monday, allowing him to sign a one-year, $400,000 contract with the Lotte Giants of the Korea Baseball Organization, Jee-ho Yoo of the Yonhap News Agency reports.
After failing to win a spot on the Diamondbacks' Opening Day roster, Straily had toiled all season at Triple-A Reno, with whom he produced a 6.35 ERA, 1.50 WHIP and 53:30 K:BB in 62.1 innings. Since a call-up to the majors wasn't imminent, Straily will instead head to Korea for the second time in his career, and he'll be well-compensated for the remaining three months of the season. The 33-year-old previously led the KBO circuit in strikeouts while pitching for the Giants in 2020.

Diamondbacks' Dan Straily: Won't make Opening Day roster
Straily was reassigned to minor-league camp Friday.
Straily joined the Diamondbacks as a non-roster invitee in February following a successful two-year stint in Korea, but he failed to make his case for a roster spot this spring. His 8.68 ERA in 9.1 Cactus League innings was quite poor, though it did at least come with 12 strikeouts against just three walks. He'll head to the minors to try to prove himself worthy of his first major-league opportunity since 2019.

Diamondbacks' Dan Straily: Make auspicious debut
Straily allowed seven runs on nine hits (two home runs) while striking out three over three innings in Saturday's spring game against the Angels.
Straily is bidding to be the Diamondbacks' fifth starter, but his debut in an Arizona uniform did not go well. "I came in with the mind-set that I'm going to fill up the strike zone - and as (pitching coach) Brent (Strom) pointed out to me, I did that a little too well," Straily told Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic. "A lot of first-pitch hits, a lot of first-pitch hacking." Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo said Straily has pitched better on the backfields, but he'll need to make adjustments in terms of pitch mix.

Diamondbacks' Dan Straily: Gets MLB chance
Straily signed a minor-league deal that includes an invitation to spring training with Arizona on Thursday.
Straily spent the last two seasons in the KBO while serving as a starting pitcher for the Lotte Giants. Across 360.1 total innings in that span, Straily maintained a 3.22 ERA with 369 strikeouts across 360.1 innings. In an interview earlier this winter, Straily specifically mentioned using technology such as Rapsodo to improve his pitches while in the KBO. The last time Straily pitched in the major leagues, he posted a 9.82 ERA across 47.2 innings as a member of the Orioles. However, if he can carry over his recent success, Straily should have the chance to earn a spot with the big-league team given the current state of the Diamondbacks' rotation.

Dan Straily: Remains in KBO
Straily has signed a one-year, $1.2 million contract to remain with the Lotte Giants of the Korea Baseball Organization (KBO), Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports.
Straily had a strong first season in the KBO, going 15-4 with a 2.50 ERA, 1.02 WHIP and 205 strikeouts in 194.2 innings for the Giants. His return to the KBO is in large part likely a sign of the uncertainty about the length and timing of the 2021 MLB season.

Orioles' Dan Straily: Hit hard in short outing
Straily allowed four earned runs on six hits and two walks while striking out one across 3.1 innings Thursday against the Indians. He did not factor into the decision.
Straily had managed a respectable effort through two innings but unraveled in the third inning, allowing four of the first five batters he faced to reach base. After allowing a leadoff hit in the fourth inning and getting one out, Straily was pulled form the game though was ultimately charged with another earned run after Gabriel Ynoa allowed his inherited runner to score. Straily has been horrific through 30.2 innings this season, posting a 1.89 WHIP and 8.51 ERA. His next start is scheduled for Wednesday against the Yankees.
