Craig sought an opportunity overseas after being designated for assignment by the Pirates last month. The former first-round pick struggled mightily at the plate this season, hitting .217/.277/.300 with one homer across 65 plate appearances.

Craig cleared waivers earlier this week and will remain with the Pirates organization.

It's been a rough few weeks for Craig, who was at the epicenter of an infamous fielding blunder involving Cubs' speedster Javier Báez in late-May. The 26-year-old first baseman has also struggled mightily at the plate, hitting .217/.277/.300 with five runs scored, one homer and three RBI in 65 plate appearances. There should be some interest in the former first-round selection on waivers, and a change of scenery might be in his best interest from a long-term standpoint.

As you've surely seen by now, Craig, playing first, tried to chase Javier Baez back home after getting pulled slightly off the bag on Erik Gonzalez's throw on a routine grounder to third. Chaos ensued, allowing a runner to score from second and Baez to reach second. It would have been an absurd play with none or one out, but what made it extra special was that with two outs, all Craig had to do was stand in the baseline for eternity (or, better yet, just tag first base) and the inning was over no matter what anyone on the Cubs did. Though the play could hardly be termed anything but an error, it was ruled a hit for Baez, because mental errors aren't errors for some reason.
