CUBS ADD LEFT-HANDER GIOVANNI SOTO Monday, April 11, 2016
The Chicago Cubs acquired pitcher Giovanni Soto from the Cleveland Indians for cash.
What does it give the Chicago Cubs?
The Cubs are constantly searching for more talent, and this move is no different. Soto adds left-handed depth for the bullpen and he might make his way to Chicago at some point this season. For now, he will pitch in Triple-A ball.
What does it give the Cleveland Guardians?
The Indians had designated Soto for assignment recently, so they gladly accepted cash from the Cubs in exchange for his services. Cleveland will move forward with Ross Detwiler as their only left-handed reliever on the current team.
Fantasy Impact
Soto does not have much fantasy value, even if he makes his way to the North side of Chicago later this season. Nothing to see here.
