The Chicago Cubs underwent significant roster changes, including the selection of Gage Workman from the Rule 5 draft. Despite a promising spring training leading to his inclusion on the Opening Day roster, Workman struggled in his first nine games with a batting average of .214 and defensive errors. Subsequently, the Cubs designated him for assignment and traded him to the Chicago White Sox. In his introduction, Workman expressed gratitude for his time with the Cubs while also expressing excitement for future competition against them.
I think Gage was in a tough spot. Rule 5 picks have a difficult transition to the big leagues, and he simply didn't have enough time to prove himself.
[I'm] grateful for my time with the Cubs and good people over there. But now I'm with the White Sox and I'm excited to be here and now I want to beat the Cubs.
