Cubs Officially Bring Back Veteran For Backup at Key Spot

In the past I would have said that signing Christian Bethancourt to a minor deal didn’t matter whatsoever and that if he actually played for the Chicago Cubs during the season, then that would be a complete disaster for the team. Yet, as we saw this past season, even these types of deals can be beneficial and shouldn’t be ignored or labeled as meaningless.

On Friday, the Cubs officially announced that they signed Bethancourt to a minor league contract that includes an invite to spring training.
