President of baseball operations Jed Hoyer has touted the need for the Chicago Cubs to improve their depth.
Their big-league roster and internal options were exposed at times by injuries and performance. The Cubs want to supplement more areas of the 40-man roster and upper levels of the minors to lessen those blows.They used one of their open 40-man roster spots Tuesday to acquire infielder/outfielder Miles Mastrobuoni from the Tampa Bay Rays for minor-league pitcher Alfredo Zárraga. Mastrobuoni, 27, slashed .300/.377/.469 with an .846 OPS at Triple-A Durham in 2022.
Mastrobuoni reached the majors for the first time this year, appearing in eight games during the final two weeks of the season. The left-handed hitter can play second base, shortstop, third base and all three outfield spots, giving the Cubs another multipositional player.The right-handed Zárraga, who turns 22 Wednesday, posted a 1.93 ERA in 17 relief appearances between Low-A Myrtle Beach and High-A South Bend.
As expected Tuesday, catcher Willson Contreras rejected the Cubs’ qualifying offer. The team will receive a compensatory draft pick when Contreras, 30, signs elsewhere.and Contreras becoming a free agent, right-hander Kyle Hendricks is the only player left on the Cubs roster from the 2016 World Series championship team.
