Yeah. The Cubs have $283k available for this year's class and Jaims is signing for ~$900k.
There were a few Cubans who were granted free agency a few days ago and maybe one of them signs before Dec 15.
But seriously, they need Wing and Reid to pop and more reinforcements next draft.
Hopefully the lack of pitching depth is a brief lull after Wicks, Brown, Palencia and Horton graduated and Herz, Ferris, Johnson and Gallagher were traded away.
Owen Ayers and Luis Martínez-Gómez showed up for their playoff game today:
Owen Ayers: 1/3, HR
Cole Mathis: 0/3, 2 K
LMG: 3 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 3 K - topped out at 96.5
