Joe Maddon’s talked about it all weekend long, the Cubs have been terrible against left-handed pitching and they need to get better. Overall, the outfield production has been disappointing and no matter the position the Cubs are looking for another bat.
Guess who kills lefties, plays the outfield (defense not his strong suit) is available and probably won’t cost much? Tigers outfielder Nick Castellanos.
Guess what team is interested in Castellanos? The Cubs!
His numbers against LHP are tremendous.
