Cubs Sign Greg Jones Amid Trade Deadline Moves | Chicago Cubs News

The Cubs quietly signed Greg Jones, a former first-round pick with speed, defense, and minor league power, to a minor league deal — a move that hints at deeper roster maneuvering as the trade deadline nears. Jones, who struggled for consistency in the majors but thrived in Triple-A, could provide depth and intel on Milwaukee, their division rival. With Justin Dean and Kevin Alcantara already in the mix — the latter a powerful but strikeout-prone slugger — this signing may signal the Cubs are preparing to trade Alcantara for a starting pitcher. Every move is under scrutiny as Chicago fights for a postseason spot, and Jones’ arrival could be insurance for the outfield — or a sign of things to come.
