Posted by Jason Hoover on February 8, 2008
The Cubs add middle infielder Yuniesky Betancourt after the league approved the retirement paperwork of Craig Biggio. “Craig was a pro’s pro, and we are very thankful for the year the gave the Cubs. His leadership and personality will be missed in the clubhouse” GM Jason Hoover said on the Friday.
The Cubs added a young but very talented shortstop to the roster with the addition of Betancourt. “We were looking to get younger and have some spaced out contrats, Yuniesky has the chance to start right away for our team” manager Ron Santo told reporters at the news conference.
