Ian Clarkin’s offseason has been rather comical to date, but at least he’s gotten a fair share of rides in on the Red Line. Okay, Clarkin hasn’t literally ridden the Red Line, but a Chicago baseball team claimed him on waivers for the third time this offseason on Wednesday. This time, it’s the Chicago Cubs who added the 23-year-old to their roster.
After spending the 2018 season in the Chicago White Sox farm system, the Cubs claimed Clarkin off waivers on Nov. 20. The move was somewhat comedic at the time, as the Cubs were taking a player from their city rival.
