1 week agoCubs Claim Ben Cowles Off Waivers Yet Again -
The Cubs first picked Cowles up from the Yankees as part of the return for Mark Leiter Jr. at the 2024 trade deadline. Cowles was DFA'd and claimed by the White last September, then the process flipped in January. The 26-year-old infielder has yet to appear in a big league game and has slashed just .235/.299/.368 over around a season's worth of plate appearances at Triple-A.

3 weeks agoCubs Roster Move: Cowles Claimed by the Blue Jays - Bleacher Nation
The Cubs will get their small waiver fee from the Blue Jays, and Cowles gets a 40-man spot with the Blue Jays - who may ultimately DFA him later on and try, themselves, to sneak him through waivers. The goal being that you'd get to keep Cowles on what is effectively a minor league deal for 2026, and he would not take up a 40-man spot. All the best to him on however that winds up playing out.
