Cubs re-signed C Jose Lobaton to a minor league contract with an invitation to spring training.

4 years ago

The 36-year-old backstop spent the 2020 campaign at the Cubs alternate training site, but never earned a call to the big leagues. In fact, he hasn't appeared in a major league game since 2018. With Willson Contreras and Austin Romine set to be the regular catching duo for the Cubs in 2021, Lobaton will serve as organizational depth behind the plate.
