The Cubs made a pair of moves yesterday, adding third baseman and former prospect Jeimer Candelario along with righty reliever José Cuas. Between the previous move to outright Edwin Ríos and swapping Nelson Velázquez for Cuas, the 40-man roster is now full. Cuas has options and figures to start out at Triple-A Iowa, but Candelario was added to help with the playoff push as — presumably — the everyday third baseman.
Before getting to that, it should be noted that the Cubs also received a cash consideration from the Nationals along with Candelario in exchange for Kevin Made and DJ Herz.
