Spring Training Miscellany: Alcantara Clears Waivers, Getting in the Cage, Old Friends, More
The Cubs will get to keep defensive wizard Sergio Alcantara after he cleared waivers today (Bastian), and was outrighted to AAA Iowa. He gets a non-roster invite to Spring Training, but the key is that, if he doesn’t make the big league team, the Cubs now get to keep him around as middle infield depth at AAA Iowa.
Elsewhere around camp today …
