From the Wire: Cubs Claim Jacob Hannemann, DFA Mike Freeman
Cubs claim OF Jacob Hannemann off waivers from the Mariners … INF Mike Freeman designated for assignment
The Cubs were rather busy Thursday. In between the announcements about the new coaches and nailing down pitching coach Jim Hickey on a multi-year contract, the front office claimed former Cubs’ prospect OF Jacob Hannemann off waivers from the Mariners. To make room on the 40-man roster, INF Mike Freeman was designated for assignment.
Jacob Hannemann, 26, was originally selected by the Cubs in the third round of the 2013 Draft and has spent his entire professional career in the Cubs organization save for one month after being claimed off waivers by Seattle last Sept. 4.
