Chicago Cubs: Rene Rivera is a player the team should bring back

Related Topics: Chicago Cubs, Catcher

The Chicago Cubs may be busy looking at filling in the starting rotation and bullpen depth as a top priority, but there are other small things to be addressed. One would be the veteran backup catcher, Rene Rivera.

They are not hard to find, and there are no sweepstakes for one, so Theo could go in several directions. Last year the Cubs claimed Rivera off waivers in August as a depth piece, and he ended up doing pretty well. As they re-bolster the team for 2018, Rivera might be a guy the Cubs want to bring back.
