Cubs complete trade for KC’s Davis
- Updated: December 7, 2016
NATIONAL HARBOR, Md. — The Cubs, adding more depth to the bullpen and possibly a new closer, completed a deal Wednesday to acquire Wade Davis from the Royals for outfielder Jorge Soler, according to a source.
Neither team has confirmed or announced the trade.
Soler seemed to be the odd man out in the Cubs outfield with the return of Kyle Schwarber. In three seasons, Soler has batted .258 with 27 home runs and 98 RBIs.
