Dee Strange-Gordon Opts Out Of Deal With Cubs
Veteran infielder
Dee Strange-Gordon has opted out of his minor league contract with the Cubs, reports Jeff Passan of ESPN (Twitter link). He’s now a free agent, but Passan adds he’s expected to sign elsewhere in the next few days.
It’s the third time this season Strange-Gordon has been let go from a minor league deal after he didn’t crack the 40-man roster. The speedster signed with the Reds over the winter, was released in Spring Training, and hooked on with the Brewers in April. Strange-Gordon was released by the Brew Crew in late May and signed with the Cubs a few days later.

Craig Kimbrel’s. In the midst of the Cubs’ ups and downs this season, Kimbrel has not only gotten back to a form not seen from him in a few years, he is putting together the best season of his career. Entering Tuesday, Kimbrel’s ERA (0.59) and WHIP (0.652) were the lowest of his career, edging out previous bests he posted in 2012 with the Braves. His strikeout rate is inching toward 50%, a number he hasn’t touched in close to a decade. And the walks, Kimbrel’s Achilles heel in recent years, are down to 8.8%, his lowest since 2017.
