David Bote Gets Non-Roster Invite To Spring Training
9 months agoChicago Cubs infielder David Bote has received a non-roster invite to spring training, according to beat writer Meghan Montemurro. Bote was taken off the 40-man roster prior to the 2023 season and spent 2023 at Triple-Iowa, where he slashed .258/.361/.456 over 425 plate appearances. Bote signed a five-year, $15 million contract with the Cubs back in 2020, which includes a pair of club options in 2025 and 2026. The team is paying him $5.5 million this season, but he doesn't seem to fit into their long-term plans. The 30-year-old showed some promise back in 2019 but is a career .231/.318/.393 hitter across 1,019 at-bats, spanning a five-year major-league career.
