As first reported by CI’s Jacob Zanolla on Thursday, the Cubs have signed 29-year-old righty A.J. Puckett to a minor league deal following an impressive display a Tread Athletics’ pro day. The team has a very direct conduit to Tread through Tyler Zombro, who likely influenced the acquisitions of Ben Heller and Matt Festa. Zombro hinted during Cubs Convention that there would be multiple signings coming out of that pro day after righty Jordan Goldmann and lefty Cole Reynolds, and we’re seeing that come to pass.
