Baseball is back, and the Cubs beat the Dodgers 12-4 in their Cactus League opener. However, that wasn’t the big news of the day because Chicago officially signed Justin Turner while designating Alexander Canario in the corresponding move. The decision to cut Canario upset several fans, particularly those who view Vidal Bruján as this year’s version of Miles Mastrobuoni. Then again, Canario has been on the team’s 40-man roster since being acquired from the Giants and couldn’t unseat Mastrobuoni last season.
The arguments for keeping Canario are somewhat mind-boggling, at least to me.
