They also opted to re-sign lefty Caleb Thielbar. Those five join closer Daniel Palencia and swingmen Colin Rea, Javier Assad, and Ben Brown to make up the new Cubs bullpen.<\/p>\n<p>One can forgive the apparent overflow in relief options. The bullpen is probably the most unstable part of any major league team. Simply put, relievers get hot and cold and they also get injured. A team\u2019s Opening Day bullpen is almost never the same bullpen even at the All-Star break. Last season, the Cubs used 25 pitchers out of the pen.<\/p>\n<p>So, when 25-year-old prospect Jack Neely was sent down to Triple-A in the first cuts this spring training, it didn\u2019t really mean that much to his long term chances of pitching in the majors.<\/p>\n<h2>This year\u2019s Daniel Palencia?<\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_162717\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-162717\" style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-162717\" src=\"https:\/\/www.chicitysports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/USATSI_28462507-600x600.jpg\" alt=\"Jack Neely, Chicago Cubs\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.chicitysports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/USATSI_28462507-600x600.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.chicitysports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/USATSI_28462507-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.chicitysports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/USATSI_28462507-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.chicitysports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/USATSI_28462507-450x450.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.chicitysports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/USATSI_28462507.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-162717\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Feb 17, 2026; Mesa, AZ, USA; Chicago Cubs pitcher Jack Neely (47) poses for photo day at Sloan Park.

Last season, between South Bend and Iowa, he notched 43 strikeouts in 33.1 innings. In 2023, as part of the Yankees system, he struck out a whopping 100 batters in 66.1 innings. In a 2024 cup of coffee with the big league Cubs, he struck out 7 in 6 innings.<\/p>\n<p>The biggest issue affecting him has always been control. But some feel that he may have turned a corner in that area. This spring with the Cubs, he did walk 2 in 4 shutout innings, but he generally looked more in control of his stuff.<\/p>\n<h2>Overlooked<\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_162718\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-162718\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-162718\" src=\"https:\/\/www.chicitysports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/USATSI_24053338-900x600.jpg\" alt=\"Jack Neely, Chicago Cubs\" width=\"900\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.chicitysports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/USATSI_24053338-900x600.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.chicitysports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/USATSI_24053338-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.chicitysports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/USATSI_24053338-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.chicitysports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/USATSI_24053338-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.chicitysports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/USATSI_24053338-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.chicitysports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/USATSI_24053338-450x300.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.chicitysports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/USATSI_24053338-1200x800.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-162718\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Aug 22, 2024; Chicago, Illinois, USA; Chicago Cubs catcher Miguel Amaya (left) and relief pitcher Jack Neely (right) celebrate after defeating the Detroit Tigers at Wrigley Field.

We know he will not begin the year in the majors, but he should be one of the first arms to get the call if\/when someone goes down with an injury. Walks have been the main thorn in Neely&#8217;s side in the past and it remains to be seen if he has worked past that issue. But Daniel Palencia struggled with the same thing before he emerged as a legitimate closer last year, so Neely is a guy that I&#8217;m keeping a close eye on early in the season.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>It\u2019s likely that Neely will get a call or two from the Cubs this season. There\u2019s no denying that he has a high upside and that he profiles as a shutdown closer-type. The question, as is always the case when it comes to prospects, is if he can live up to his potential.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Chicago Cubs went through a lot of effort to restock a bullpen this offseason that was seriously depleted.
