There were some big moves in the Cubs system today, beyond Miguel Amaya coming up to the majors.
Haydn McGeary was promoted from South Bend to Double-A Tennessee. McGeary is still listed as a catcher, but he hasn’t played there all year and never above rookie ball.
Left-handed pitcher Jackson Ferris, the Cubs’ second-round pick last year, was promoted to Myrtle Beach. He must have shown enough in extended Spring Training that the Cubs feel confident with this assignment. This is good news.
Also, it appears that Roenis Elías had agreed to terms with an as-yet unnamed KBO team.
