Matt Duffy and David Bote have something in common.
No, it’s not just that they are both now members of the Chicago Cubs organization after Duffy was signed to a minor-league deal by the team Monday.
The #Cubs sign infielder Matt Duffy to a minor-league deal that will pay him $1 million if he makes their big-league team with $500,000 in incentives. He was in the #Rangers and #Yankees organizations last season.

It’s that they were both drafted in the 18th round in 2012.
