4 years agoFree agent catcher Tony Wolters has signed a one-year, major-league deal with the Chicago Cubs, according to Patrick Mooney of The Athletic. The team designated relief pitcher James Norwood for assignment in a corresponding move. Wolters was released by the Pittsburgh Pirates just one day ago so it didn't take long for him to find a new home. The terms of the deal have not been disclosed but he will open the season on the major league roster and will back up everyday catcher Willson Contreras. Wolters spent the previous five seasons with the Rockies and is a .238/.323/.319 career hitter. He's unlikely to provide much in the way of fantasy value unless he were thrust into an everyday role.--Jon Mathisen - RotoBaller
