Given the team’s obvious financial limitations, we figured we’d see some movement in this week’s Rule 5 Draft. We weren’t wrong, as the Cubs took Gray Fenter, following that pick up with Nicholas Padilla and Samuel Reyes in the Triple-A round of the draft.
We have seen some notable subtractions from the Cubs organization over the last few weeks. We saw Kyle Schwarber and Albert Almora be non-tendered, Theo Epstein resign from his position and even Len Kasper leave for the White Sox radio job. It’s been a tough few weeks being a Cubs fan.
