Though there hasn’t been any official word yet from the Cubs, multiple fans have spotted David Bote at Wrigley Field this morning. Because he’s not on the 40-man roster, the Cubs would have to clear space by designating someone for assignment. That someone is most likely Nick Madrigal, who, in addition to being a central figure in Friday’s loss, has simply not played well for the Cubs aside from a short streak here and there.

If we’re being completely honest, Bote hasn’t played very well at the MLB level outside of some very big moments.
