Cubs will sign3 players in IFA for $5.2 million. They haven’t confirmed Espinosa because with Swanson signing they are $500,000 short.

I like signing shortstops as they can likely play almost anywhere. My HS coach used to say "there is no such thing as an OF. An OF is an IF who wasn't good enough to start over anyone in the IF so they made him an OF." I don't completely agree with his logic, but I understand what he meant.
