Cubs Prospect Perspectives: Daniel Palencia

I try, with my prospect profiles, to be somewhat timely. If news is breaking regarding a certain team, I try to ease in a certain player with whom that news might better resonate with that news background. Over the last week or so, the latest dissolution of the Oakland Athletics seems likely. Their starting corner infielders (Matt Chapman and Matt Olson) are being shopped. With that news, jumping back to look at the Cubs’ addition of pitcher Daniel Palencia from the A’s organization seems appropriate.

Oakland has a tendency to go more aggressively for the current season than most teams do.
