Welcome to today’s episode of Cub Tracks news and notes™. Here we have material from current beat writers, bloggers, and the occasional in-house habitué, moonlighting. These pieces center around #Cubs, #MiLB, and #MLB baseball.

Manny Piña signed with the Atlanta Braves. Cubs signed Tyler Payne on a minor-league deal.
