Richards was among 20 non-roster players invited to spring training by the Cubs on Friday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
The Cubs signed Richards to a minor-league contract Monday, Aram Leighton of Just Baseball reports.
Owns an outstanding changeup, which is a true out-pitch for him. Also commands his average fastball--which deceives batters both because of his effective changeup and also because of his quirky motion--with aplomb. His curve is nothing to write home about, and he lacks a fourth pitch, so he may not have the arsenal to stick as a big-league starting pitcher over time. Also, he could stand to add more bulk to his 6'2" frame for better stamina.
Long Range Potential: Solid right-hander.
