We’ve already written about J.D. Davis as a possible fit for the Cubs following the Giants’ addition of Matt Chapman, but the topic is worth revisiting briefly now that Davis has been placed on waivers. The timing indicates the Giants were unsuccessful in working out a trade over the last week since signing Chapman, which isn’t surprising given their complete lack of leverage. It’s also a matter of Davis being more of a high-floor guy teams were willing to wait on.
Are the Cubs one of those teams? They do have question marks at both corner infield spots and could see Davis as insurance there.
