How this 'extreme' player will fit on '23 Cubs This story was excerpted from Jordan Bastian's Cubs Beat newsletter. To read the full newsletter, click here. And subscribe to get it regula...
JANUARY 13 • MLB.COM
Nick Madrigal - Avoids arbitration Madrigal and the Cubs agreed on a one-year, $1.225 million contract Friday to avoid arbitration, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports.
Impact The 25-year-old struggled to stay healthy in 2022, batting .249 with seven doubles, seven RBI, 19 runs and three stolen bases over 209 at-bats in 59 games with the Cubs. With the addition of Dansby Swanson this offseason, Madrigal does not have direct path to a starting spot in the infield, though he will likely rotate in and out of the lineup in a variety of spots including designated hitter in 2023.
JANUARY 13 • ROTOWIRE
Mike Tauchman - Signs minor-league pact with Cubs Tauchman signed a minor-league contract with the Cubs on Friday.
Impact It seems likely that Tauchman was given an invitation to major-league spring training as part of the deal. The 32-year-old spent 2022 in Korea following a disappointing showing in 2021 with the Yankees and Giants. Tauchman is a solid defender at all three outfield spots and has flashed offensively in the past, which could give him a decent chance to win a reserve job in Chicago.
JANUARY 13 • ROTOWIRE
Mark Leiter Jr. - DFA'd by Cubs Leiter was designated for assignment by the Cubs on Friday.
Impact The team needed to free up a spot on the 40-man roster for the addition of Eric Hosmer. Leiter had a solid 2022 season, posting a 3.99 ERA and 73:25 K:BB over 67.2 innings, picking up three saves along the way. There might be some interest in him on waivers.

Vinny Nittoli - Receives camp invite Nittoli signed a minor-league contract with the Cubs on Thursday that includes an invitation to major-league spring training, Bob Nightengale of USA Today reports.
Impact Nittoli was recently let go by the Phillies after being removed from the 40-man roster, and it didn't take him long to latch on with a new team. The 32-year-old appeared in just two big-league games last season and had a 3.81 ERA, 1.04 WHIP and 64:14 K:BB across 52 innings at the Triple-A level.

Dom Nuñez - Lands minor-league deal with Cubs Nunez signed a minor-league contract with the Cubs on Monday.
Impact Nunez has made major-league appearances for the Rockies in three of the last four seasons but was claimed off waivers by the Giants in early November before being designated for assignment a week later. He'll now join the Cubs organization, and it wouldn't be surprising to see him serve as a non-roster invitee during spring training.
