The Winter Meetings have come and gone and the Cubs look totally different now. A brief recap of all of the transactions:
Signings
none
Trades
none
Rule 5 Draft, Major League Phase
no selection
no players selected from Cubs
Rule 5 Draft, AAA Phase
8. Blue Jays select David Garner, RHP (Cubs)
19. Indians select Yapson Gomez, LHP (Cubs)
20. Cubs select Luis Lugo, LHP (Royals)
33. Cubs select Rafelin Lorenzo, C (Pirates)
40. Cubs select Alexander Vargas, RHP (Yankees)
I’m not going to pretend to care about David Garner or Yapson Gomez, though it does seem like Yapson Gomez could potentially be an emergency LOOGY or something.
