Cubs Reportedly ‘Showing Serious Interest’ in Versatile IF Josh Rojas

RodriguezThe Cubs have been working around the margins with depth acquisitions, selecting Gage Workman from the Tigers in the Rule 5 Draft and picking up Vidal Bruján from the Marlins in exchange for Matt Mervis. But while both players could challenge Matt Shaw for third base during spring training and/or provide organizational depth during the season, neither appears to be much more than a stopgap at best. Josh Rojas, however, could be exactly the versatile bench player the Cubs need as a viable starter or insurance policy at multiple positions.
That’s why the Cubs are “among the teams showing serious interest” in Rojas, per Mark Feinsand.
