Cubs signed INF/OF Jaylen Palmer to a minor league contract.
The versatile 24-year-old spent his first six minor league seasons in the Mets’ organization. In 2024 he slashed .223/.316/.436 with 12 homers, 33 RBI and 10 stolen bases in 83 contests at Double-A Binghampton while seeing action at first base, second base, third base and all three outfield positions. He’ll add minor league depth for the Cubs.
