Miguel Montero is a Cubs catcher no more:
The Chicago Cubs have designated catcher Miguel Montero for assignment, according to multiple reports. This comes just hours after the backup blamed the Nationals’ seven stolen bases in four innings on Jake Arrieta’s inability to control the running game.
“The reason why they were running left and right today because they know he was slow to the plate,” Montero said. “It really sucked because the stolen bases go to me, and when you really look at it, the pitcher doesn’t give me any time.”
Anthony Rizzo didn’t like that, and it appears, neither did the front office. Montero still contributes at the plate, so he will probably catch on with another team.
