The Chicago Cubs have signed catcher Christian Bethancourt to a minor league deal worth $1.6 million if he reaches the majors. Previously with the Cubs in 2024, he had a strong performance in a limited role, but the team opted not to retain him for 2025 after he struggled offensively with the Blue Jays’ Triple-A team. This signing provides the Cubs with additional depth at catcher, as their current situation is uncertain with other players in the mix. Bethancourt, a veteran with defensive skills, will compete for a spot in spring training.
