Greg Jones Heads to Cubs After Brewers Release | Chicago Cubs News

Greg Jones, the former first-round pick who struggled in his brief MLB stint with the Brewers, is bouncing back with a minor league deal to the Cubs — a rival team currently seven games behind Milwaukee in the NL Central. After hitting well in Triple-A Nashville and being DFA’d by the Brewers, Jones opted for free agency and now heads to Iowa, where he’ll try to reignite his career. His versatility — capable of playing outfield and second base — made him a Brewers’ pickup, but his MLB numbers didn’t match his Triple-A form. He’s not alone in this cross-town shuffle — pitcher Jake Woodford made the same move earlier this month. With the Cubs and Brewers set to clash multiple times this season, Jones could very well end up back in Milwaukee’s lineup — if he can find his swing in Iowa. Baseball’s roster churn never stops.
