Cubs Close To Adding Jason Kipnis
5 years agoThe Chicago Cubs are close to signing second baseman Jason Kipnis to a non-roster, minor league deal on Tuesday. Kipnis doesn't have the same bat as when he was elected to his second All-Star team in 2015 with the Indians, but he could bring a nice left-handed bat to the keystone in a platoon role in Chicago, which is where he grew up. Kipnis would be battling the likes of David Bote, Daniel Descalso and perhaps Nico Hoerner for playing time at the keystone if he signs on the dotted line with the Cubs. The 32-year-old (33 in April) hit .245/.304/.410 with 17 home runs, 65 RBI and seven steals in 2019 in his last year with the Tribe.
