Sohrab Tebyanian draws upon more than three decades of business ownership experience as leader of Andriana Furs, a Chicago, Illinois-based clothing company that offers outerwear in materials such as furs, shearlings, cloth, suede, and cashmere. When he isn’t working, Sohrab Tebyanian enjoys following Chicago’s professional sports teams, including the Cubs of Major League Baseball (MLB).
The Cubs gave out their first guaranteed contract of the offseason on January 28 as the team signed relief pitcher Jeremy Jeffress to a 1-year, $800,000 deal. Chicago had previously signed other players to Minor League contracts with incentives should they earn spots on the Cubs’ Major League roster.
A 32-year-old native of Virginia, Jeffress registered a 5.02 earned run average (ERA) in 48 relief appearances for the Milwaukee Brewers last season. He allowed 54 hits and recorded 46 strikeouts in 52 innings pitched. The right-handed pitcher was much more effective the year prior, as he earned All-Star recognition and registered a 1.29 ERA through 73 appearances and only allowed 49 hits in 76-and-two-thirds innings pitched.
Originally selected by the Brewers in the first round of the 2006 MLB Amateur Draft, Jeffress has also played for the Kansas City Royals, Toronto Blue Jays, and Texas Rangers. Through 401 innings pitched in 392 games, he has a 3.16 ERA to go along with 377 hits and 370 strikeouts.
