Nicky Lopez, formerly with the Chicago White Sox, has signed with the Chicago Cubs on a minor-league deal that includes an invitation to Spring Training. His versatility at second, third, and shortstop adds depth to the Cubs' infield. With starting second baseman Nico Hoerner's health uncertain, Lopez might see Major League action if required. While he faces competition from Jon Berti and Vidal Bruján, Lopez's experience positions him as a potential insurance option at third base and adds organizational depth after recent trades.
Over the course of his career, Lopez has seen playing time at second base, third base, and shortstop.
Lopez could also be in the mix at third base if the Cubs would rather him be Matt Shaw's insurance at the position.
