Cubs Moving On From Trey Mancini
1 year agoThe Chicago Cubs are "planning to remove" Trey Mancini from their roster, according to Michael Cerami of Bleacher Nation. As of now, it's unclear whether Mancini will be traded, designated for assignment, or released. However, his time in Chicago is over. The 31-year-old is in the midst of a frustrating season, slashing .234/.299/.336 with a 29.7 K% and 74 wRC+. He has spent most of the year at first base but also logged reps as the Cubs' right fielder and designated hitter. FanGraphs' WAR metric labels Mancini as below replacement level both offensively (-10.5 oWAR) and defensively (-6.6 dWAR).
