CHICAGO (AP) — The Chicago Cubs acquired
reliever Matt Festa from the Texas Rangers for cash on Thursday.
Festa was 6-1 with a 5.70 ERA over 18 games for Texas and one
with the New York Mets last season. The 31-year-old right-hander
is 8-3 with a 4.60 ERA in 108 appearances over five seasons with
Seattle, New York and Texas.
The Rangers designated Festa for assignment when they signed
reliever Chris Martin to a one-year contract on Monday night.
The Cubs designated infielder Miles Mastrobuoni for assignment
to make room on their 40-man roster for Festa.
