Some here (I’m looking at you, Deputy!) have been wondering who the Cubs might sign to be their “break glass in case of emergency” catcher, in other words, who would likely wind up starting at Triple-A Iowa and be available in case of an injury to Willson Contreras or Victor Caratini.
And now we have that answer!
Josh Phegley turns 32 next month. He was a first-round supplemental pick of the White Sox (38th overall) in 2009 out of Indiana — a fellow alum of Kyle Schwarber!
