The Cubs picked up left-handed pitcher and former Yankees first-round pick Ian Clarkin off waivers from the White Sox last week. It was meant to be the start of a new era for Clarkin, who joined his third organization since he was drafted out of high school.
The 23-year-old was excited for his new journey, sharing the news of his new home on Instagram.
The internet is forever, but Ian Clarkin with the Cubs is not.
