Cubs Purchase Jason Kipnis' Contract
4 years agoThe Chicago Cubs selected second baseman Jason Kipnis' contract from Triple-A Iowa on Friday. It means that Kipnis will start the 2020 season with the Cubs big league roster, and he should see pretty regular playing time at the keystone after signing a minor league deal with the team in February. In his final season with the Tribe in 2019, Kipnis hit .245/.304/.410 with 17 home runs, 65 RBI, 52 runs and seven stolen bases in 121 games. With enough playing time, the 33-year-old should contribute modestly with his power and speed and will be a corner infield option in really deep mixed leagues and NL-only affairs.
