Hey, the Cubs made a move! Welcome former Arizona Diamondback Daniel Descalso to the North Side, folks. Is the deal earth-shattering? No. Does it affect the Cubs outlook in the NL Central? A little. Is it a good deal? There are pros and cons.
One pro is that Descalso is a super-utility player who can handle almost every position. Over the last two seasons with Arizona, Descalso saw time at shortstop, second base, third base, left field, and first base. But he mostly played second and third and, if I were to bet, that’s where he’ll likely end up playing most of his time as a Cub.
