The Chicago Cubs made a move last night–albeit a minor one–to help bolster the upper-level outfield depth. The Cubs acquired Donnie Dewees from the Kansas City Royals in exchange for Stephen Ridings, a pitcher in low-A ball in Eugene. Dewees was initially traded from the Cubs in 2107 for Alec Mills whose battling for a spot in the bullpen. Maybe Dewees can be traded again in a year or two for Ridings? Worked for Mills, right? Sorry. Wishful thinking.
Dewees came from North Florida and was drafted 47th overall in the second round in the 2015 MLB Amateur Draft.
