Tread Athletics held their 2025 Pro Day recently, with several arms looking for jobs in major league systems. After hiring Tyler Zombro from Tread a few months ago, the Cubs now have a direct link to the pitching development factor. That may have been a factor in them signing Ben Heller to a minor-league deal and then trading for Matt Festa. We didn’t have to wait long for them to add another Tread alum, with the outfit announcing today that the Cubs have signed righty Jordan Goldmann.
Second guy off the board as Jordan Goldmann signs with the Cubs!
