The Chicago Cubs and an offseason of puzzling moves continued Wednesday, and the cherry on top of this was was the signing of Tony Wolters as Willson Contreras’ backup behind the plate.
This one is baffling for many reasons. For one, as we’ve mentioned here before on Cubbies Crib, PJ Higgins did enough to earn the opportunity. Austin Romine will miss the beginning of the season and there is no reason the Cubs shouldn’t see what Higgins has. This organization has become so scared of just trusting their own players.
