I distinctly remember another time the Cubs acquired a reliever from the Mariners in exchange for a slugging infielder. As first reported by ESPN’s Jeff Passan, the Cubs are bringing former farmhand Tyson Miller back in exchange for Jake Slaughter. Drafted by the Cubs in the fifth round during their title season, Miller made his MLB debut in 2020 and was claimed off waivers by the Rangers after being DFA’d the following season.
Trade news: The Chicago Cubs are acquiring right-handed reliever Tyson Miller from the Seattle Mariners for infielder Jake Slaughter, sources tell ESPN.
