3 years agoKen Rosenthal of The Athletic is reporting that the Chicago Cubs have agreed to terms with second baseman Dee Strange-Gordon on a minor league contract. Strange-Gordon was recently released out of his minor league deal with the Milwaukee Brewers and he has quickly found himself a new home. The Cubs have dealt with a flurry of injuries lately and that includes starting second baseman Nico Hoerner (hamstring) suffering a left hamstring strain on Tuesday. Infielder Matt Duffy (back) is also on the injured list for the Cubs. Strange-Gordon won't be on the big league roster initially, but his speed alone would provide more upside than his competition of second baseman Eric Sogard and infielder David Bote with Hoerner sidelined. Strange-Gordon doesn't do much with the bat, but could be valuable for managers seeking speed if he gets promoted. Strange-Gordon can be left on the waiver wire.--Daniel Burdeen - RotoBaller
