Cubs re-signed RHP Frank Batista to a minor league contract.
2015 was a tale of two seasons for the 26-year-old hurler. He compiled an outstanding 1.73 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 56/23 K/BB ratio through 83 1/3 innings at Double-A Tennessee to begin the season, prompting a promotion to Triple-A Iowa. He didn’t fare as well in the hitter-friendly Pacific Coast League, registering a 5.71 ERA, 1.85 WHIP and 17/15 K/BB ratio in 34 2/3 innings.
