No, he did not get a chance to walk on stage at Cubs Convention, but veteran catcher Josh Phegley did agree to a minor league deal with the Chicago Cubs. The deal was reported by Chicago Tribune Cubs beat Mark Gonzales. This was announced shortly before the opening convention ceremonies.
Phegley is a familiar name among White Sox supporters in Chicago when he was their team’s 38th overall pick out of Indiana University in the 2009 draft. He played his first two pro seasons with the Sox before being involved in a trade with Oakland that brought former Cub Jeff Samardzija back to Chicago.
