We’ve been waiting for this dude to put it together for some time now, and after a couple of false starts, McMahon seems to have figured it out. He’s riding a seven-game hit streak, has 10 RBI over the last five and six runs with four doubles over the last four.

Well, one thing is certain: Kimbrel will definitely help a bullpen that has blown 12 of 26 save chances so far this season. Regardless, the Cubs are still right in the thick of the NL Central, just a half game behind the Brewers entering play on Tuesday, so this addition is a welcome one. It’s probably not the last move Chicago will make to bolster the pen this season, but it’s the most important one.
