Chicago Cubs reportedly pursuing infielder Carlos Asuaje
Continuing the trend of the offseason thus far, the Chicago Cubs are reportedly pursuing a low-profile infielder in Carlos Asuaje.
It’s been a quiet offseason for the Chicago Cubs thus far. The suddenly budget-conscious club has been extremely calculated, signing low-key names as they seem determined to stay under the lowest-tier $208 million luxury tax threshold in 2020.
Continuing that trend of under-the-radar, buy-low signings, the Cubs are reportedly pursuing second baseman Carlos Asuaje, according to The Athletic’s Sahadev Sharma (subscription required).
