This Saturday, June 2, the Cubs two Dominican squads begin their 2018 campaigns. It’s very possible you really don’t care. Which is absolutely fine. I am, however, thrilled. When players are representing the Cubs in the pipeline, the less I know about the players, the more value the box score provides. Whether you’re buying it or not, international talent is currently the Cubs’ best bargain going.
As the Cubs have been on “probation” for most of the last two years, the players rolling for the pair of squads were almost all signed for a bonus of $300,000 or less.
