Parts ways with Cubs
The Cubs released Sogard on Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
After going unclaimed off waivers when he was designated him for assignment last week, Sogard presumably wasn't keen on reporting to Triple-A Iowa, so the Cubs elected to grant him his release. The 34-year-old utility man slashed .249/.283/.314 across 180 plate appearances with the Cubs this season before being bumped off the 40-man roster.

Ten years into his major-league career, Sogard's profile is well defined. Particularly given the game's current environment, he stands out for his ability to make contact and put balls in play. In recent seasons, that's translated to a relatively strong batting average, as he's hit over .270 in two of his last four campaigns. Even when his average has dipped, his xBA has remained above the 60th percentile among qualified hitters. Sogard has little to complement his ability to make contact, topping a .100 ISO in just two of his last seven campaigns. He's also failed to swipe double-digit bags since 2014. Even so, Sogard's ability to put the ball in play and play strong defense across the infield makes him a desirable option for major-league teams. Still a free agent, Sogard figures to make a major-league roster and could be a reasonable source of batting average and runs depending on his lineup placement.
