Why haven’t the Cubs signed this guy yet, Part 2: Tommy La Stella
Share this story
There are some things I’ll never understand about how the Cubs front office works.
In 2018, Tommy La Stella overall had a mediocre season for the Cubs: .266/.340/331 (45-for-169). But among those 45 hits were 24 pinch hits, a franchise record, and TLS hit .312/.398/.416 (24-for-77, nine walks) as a pinch-hitter.
La Stella was arbitration-eligible in 2019, but instead of keeping him and making him an arb offer, they traded him to the Angels for minor-league Conor Lillis-White, who never pitched a single game in the Cubs organization and was released last May.
