They acquired right-handed pitcher Spencer Patton from the Texas Rangers for minor-league infielder Frandy Delarosa. Patton, 27, broke into the big leagues with Texas in 2014 and went 1-0 with an 0.96 ERA in 9 big-league relief appearances before splitting 2015 between the Rangers and Class AAA Round Rock. He went 2-0 with 11 saves and a 1.67 ERA in 26 Triple-A relief outings and 1-1 with a 9.00 ERA in 27 big-league relief appearances. Patton has gone 15-14 with 33 saves and a 3.49 ERA in 147 career minor-league appearances, all but 12 in relief, covering five minor-league seasons. He has struck out 364 in 268⅓ innings pitched, an average of 12.2 strikeouts per 9 innings. Delarosa, 19, batted .273 in 62 games for Class A Eugene this past season. He originally signed with the Cubs as a non-drafted free agent in 2012. Making the 40-man: Friday was the deadline for clubs to add minor-leaguers to the 40-man major-league roster or risk exposing them to the Rule 5 draft in December. The Cubs selected the contracts of four players from Class AA Tennessee: infielder Jeimer Candelario, catcher Willson Contreras, right-handed pitcher Pierce Johnson and infielder Dan Vogelbach. The Cubs' 40-man roster stands at 37. Candelario, who turns 22 next Tuesday, combined to bat .277 with 35 doubles, 4 triples, 10 home runs and 64 RBI in 128 games between Class A Myrtle Beach and Tennessee this year. Contreras, 23, was named the Cubs' minor-League player of the year after batting .333 with 34 doubles, 4 triples, 8 homers and 75 RBI in 126 games with Tennessee. Contreras turned in a .413 on-base percentage and a .478 slugging percentage. Johnson, 24, is 22-13 with a 2.50 ERA in 65 minor-league games, all but 3 as a starter, in four minor-league seasons since being selected by the Cubs in the compensation round (43rd overall) of the 2012 draft out of Missouri State University. He has struck out 309 in 327 innings. He went 6-2 with a 2.08 ERA in 16 starts with Tennessee this season. Johnson finished his season with 7 starts in the Arizona Fall League, going 1-2 with a 5.47 ERA. Vogelbach, 22, batted .272 with 16 doubles, 7 homers and 39 RBI in 76 games with Tennessee. He walked 57 times to contribute to his .403 on-base percentage. -- Cubs.com Cubs protect 4 prospects from Rule 5 Draft By Carrie Muskat CHICAGO -- The Cubs selected the contracts of pitcher Pierce Johnson, catcher Willson Contreras, infielder Jeimer Candelario and first baseman Dan Vogelbach from Double-A Tennessee on Friday and added them to the 40-man roster, preventing them from being selected by another club during next month's Rule 5 Draft. The 40-man roater now has 37 players. The quartet were among six players listed on MLB.com's Top 30 Cubs Prospects who were set to be eligible for the Rule 5 Draft. Johnson is ranked seventh, Contreras 10th, Vogelbach 13th and Candelario 20th. Contreras, 23, was the Cubs' Minor League Player of the Year in 2015 after batting .333 with eight home runs, 34 doubles, four triples and 75 RBIs in 126 games at Tennessee. He batted .283 with three home runs and five doubles in 14 games in the Arizona Fall League before he suffered a hamstring injury and was shut down. Johnson, 24, went 6-2 with a 2.08 ERA in 16 starts at Tennessee this season with 72 strikeouts over 95 innings. Slowed in Spring Training because of injury, the right-hander pitched for the Mesa Solar Sox in the Arizona Fall League and struck out 21 over 24 2/3 innings in seven starts. Vogelbach, 22, was a second-round pick in 2011, and battled injuries in 2015, finishing with a .272 average in 76 games at Tennessee with seven home runs, 16 doubles and one triple. Candelario, 21, shined in the Arizona Fall League where he batted .329 in 21 games with five home runs, eight doubles and 15 RBIs in 21 games with the Mesa Solar Sox. This past season, he batted .291 in 46 games at Tennessee after opening the season at Class A Myrtle Beach, where he hit .270 in 82 games. The two players on MLB.com's Top 30 Cubs Prospects who were not protected from the Rule 5 Draft are right- hander Corey Black (No. 19) and right-hander Daury Torrez (No. 29). Black, 24, was moved from the rotation to the bullpen this season at Tennessee. Acquired from the Yankees in the Alfonso Soriano trade, he was 3-5 with a 4.92 ERA in 37 games, including nine starts. He pitched in the AFL, and gave up 11 earned runs over 8 2/3 innings in eight games. Torrez, 22, was 10-6 with a 3.75 ERA in 24 games (23 starts) at Myrtle Beach, striking out 86 over 134 1/3 innings. All Major League teams had until 7 p.m. CT Friday to declare which players would be added to the 40-man roster to protect them from being selected in the Rule 5 Draft, which will be held Dec. 10 during the Winter Meetings. Teams pay $50,000 to select a player in the Major League phase of the Draft, and the player must stay on the selecting team's 25-man roster for the full season. If not, he is offered back to his former team for $25,000. -- Cubs.com Cubs get righty Patton from Texas for Minors infielder By Carrie Muskat CHICAGO -- The Cubs continued to add arms, acquiring right-handed pitcher Spencer Patton from the Rangers for 19-year-old Minor League infielder Frandy Delarosa on Friday. Patton is the third reliever the Cubs have added this week. They also claimed lefty Jack Leathersich off waivers from the Mets and signed right-handed pitcher Andury Acevedo to a contract. Acevedo, 25, had spent the last four seasons pitching in the Yankees' organization. With the moves, the Cubs' 40-man roster is now at 33. An Illinois native, Patton, 27, was a 24th-round Draft pick of the Royals in 2011, and he has appeared in 36 games with the Rangers (nine in 2014; 27 in '15), all in relief. He also appeared in 26 games for Triple-A Round Rock in '15 and picked up 11 saves, fanning 36 over 27 innings. Texas acquired him in July 2014 from Kansas City for Jason Frasor.

  • The Demise of the African American Baseball Player
    LCB_18_2_Art_4_Standen (Do Not Delete) 8/26/2014 6:33 AM THE DEMISE OF THE AFRICAN AMERICAN BASEBALL PLAYER by Jeffrey Standen* Recently alarms were raised in the sports world over the revelation that baseball player agent Scott Boras and other American investors were providing large loans to young baseball players in the Dominican Republic. Although this practice does not violate any restrictions imposed by Major League Baseball or the MLB Players Association, many commentators have termed this funding practice of dubious ethical merit and at bottom exploitative. Yet it is difficult to distinguish exploitation from empowerment. Refusing to lend money to young Dominican players reduces the money invested in athletes. The rules of baseball and the requirements of amateurism preclude similar loans to American-born baseball players. Young ballplayers unlucky enough to be born in the United States cannot borrow their training expenses against their future earning potential. The same limitations apply in similar forms to athletes in other sports, yet baseball presents some unique problems. Success at the professional level in baseball involves a great deal of skill, attention to detail, and supervised training over a long period of time. Players from impoverished financial backgrounds, including predominately the African American baseball player, have been priced out of the game. American athletes in sports that, like baseball, require a significant commitment of money over time have not been able to fund their apprenticeships through self-generated lending markets. One notable example of self-generated funding is in the sport of golf. To fund their career goals, American golfers raise money through a combination of debt and equity financing.

  • Arrieta's Second-Half Decline Bites Cubs
    Arrieta’s second-half decline bites Cubs at just the wrong time in Game 3 By George Castle, CBM Historian Posted Tuesday, October 18, 2016 The location problems that afflicted Jake Arrieta in the second half came back to bite the Cubs hard Tuesday in a 6-0 de- feat, their second consecutive shutout loss to the Dodgers in Game 3 of the National League Championship Series. The Dodg- ers back-to-back post-season shutouts was the first in their storied franchise his- tory. Pitching like the third starter to which his performance level had often devolved, Ar- rieta’s gopher balls to Yasmani Grandal and Justin Turner revived the age-old It was a tale of two pitchers: Jake Arrieta (left) continued his second-half decline, while ex-Cub paranoia about playoff collapses from Rich Hill pitched the game of his life. Cubs fans, whose heroes must now play Photos: baseball-reference.com and mlb.com. from behind with a 2-1 deficit. And they’re forced to do it in two more games at Dodger Stadium, never a comfortable place for the Cubs since it opened in 1962. Their best hope to restore equilibrium is rattling 20-year-old rookie starter Julio Urias in Game 4 Wednesday with the Cubs hurling the veteran John Lackey, with his big- game playoff winner resume and 38th birthday looming this coming Sunday. Cubs manager Joe Maddon’s tinkering with the slumping lineup, which began with Game 3, might continue as the situation approaches criticality. Eighteen straight scoreless in- nings tossed at the previously prodigious lineup will conjure up nightmares of past postseason pratfalls with the Cubs hitting only .190 versus breaking balls so far this year.

  • Weekly Notes 072817
    MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL WEEKLY NOTES FRIDAY, JULY 28, 2017 BLACKMON WORKING TOWARD HISTORIC SEASON On Sunday afternoon against the Pittsburgh Pirates at Coors Field, Colorado Rockies All-Star outfi elder Charlie Blackmon went 3-for-5 with a pair of runs scored and his 24th home run of the season. With the round-tripper, Blackmon recorded his 57th extra-base hit on the season, which include 20 doubles, 13 triples and his aforementioned 24 home runs. Pacing the Majors in triples, Blackmon trails only his teammate, All-Star Nolan Arenado for the most extra-base hits (60) in the Majors. Blackmon is looking to become the fi rst Major League player to log at least 20 doubles, 20 triples and 20 home runs in a single season since Curtis Granderson (38-23-23) and Jimmy Rollins (38-20-30) both accomplished the feat during the 2007 season. Since 1901, there have only been seven 20-20-20 players, including Granderson, Rollins, Hall of Famers George Brett (1979) and Willie Mays (1957), Jeff Heath (1941), Hall of Famer Jim Bottomley (1928) and Frank Schulte, who did so during his MVP-winning 1911 season. Charlie would become the fi rst Rockies player in franchise history to post such a season. If the season were to end today, Blackmon’s extra-base hit line (20-13-24) has only been replicated by 34 diff erent players in MLB history with Rollins’ 2007 season being the most recent.
