Chicago Cubs demote Ian Happ, DFA Brian Duensing and more
In a surprise move, the Chicago Cubs optioned Ian Happ to Triple-A Iowa. Less surprising was the DFA of Brian Duensing, who since his first year in Chicago has struggled ever since.
When Ian Happ broke onto the scene for the Chicago Cubs in 2017, it appeared they had another piece to build off. After a disappointing 2018, Happ was surprisingly–to fans and him–sent down to Triple-A to start the season. Happ is a talented player, but he does have some holes in his swing that he needs to fix. Eventually, he’ll find his way back to Chicago. But for now, things are going to be a little bit different for Happ.
