Ronald, we hardly knew ya. Again.
Just two days after the Cubs traded for infielder Ronald Torreyes from the Yankees, the team declined to offer him a contract for the 2019 season by tonight’s deadline. The Cubs also declined to offer new contracts to right-handed pitchers Justin Hancock and Allen Webster.
Seven players who were eligible for arbitration but not free agency were tendered contracts. Infielders Javier Baez, Kris Bryant and Addison Russell; outfielder Kyle Schwarber; right-handed pitchers Kyle Hendricks and Carl Edwards Jr.
