Cubs Name John Baker Baseball Operations Assistant

John Baker is back with the Chicago Cubs.

The Cubs announced Thursday afternoon that John Baker has been added to the front office as a baseball operations assistant.

John Baker spent the 2014 season with the Cubs and provided the highlights in the most memorable game of the year. Baker was the winning pitcher in the 16-inning marathon with the Rockies at the end of July.

After pitching a scoreless inning, Baker walked to start the bottom of the 16th and scored the winning run on a sac fly from Starlin Castro.
