Cubs Sign Former Top Cardinals Draft Pick

The Cubs have signed former top Cardinals draft pick Jake Woodford to a minor league deal as the organization continues to search for pitching depth at Triple-A. Woodford, 28, recently opted out of his contract with the Yankees and on Thursday the right-handed pitcher officially signed with the Cubs.

Woodford has been at Triple-A from the start of the 2025 season and now he’ll head over to Iowa, where he’ll join a depleted starting rotation.
