The “hot stove” has been far from hot for the Chicago Cubs this offseason. While virtually every National League Central team has been making significant moves, the Cubs have been idly standing by. Nevertheless, moves are moves, and the club has announced a couple of new ones.
Jim Adduci, a first baseman/outfielder formerly with the Detroit Tigers, makes his return to the Cubs organization, with whom he spent many years in the minor league ranks. Phillip Evans, meanwhile, leaves the New York Mets, where he saw some time at the major league level in 2018.
