Despite career-long injury issues, 28-year-old starting pitcher Brett Anderson is getting yet another opportunity to prove he can contribute to a Major League team. The defending World Series champion Chicago Cubs have signed Anderson to a one-year deal that could pay him up to $10 million with incentives. 

Anderson spent each of the past two seasons with the Los Angeles Dodgers, posting a combined 11-11 record with a 4.18 ERA in 35 games (34 starts). After posting a career high in starts with 31 back in 2016, injuries caught up to Anderson this past season. He pitched in only four games, starting just three while dealing with a back injury. 

Anderson has started less than 20 games in six of the past seven seasons due to a multitude of injuries he's suffered through. This is a clear indication that he's not a rosterable option in the fake baseball workd unless he proves he can stay healthy. 

Anderson's presence on the Cubs does have an indirect fantasy impact. It could push Mike Montgomery back into the bullpen after the Cubs had planned to give him an opportunity to start this season. Obviously, all of that will be dictated by what happens in spring training.
