According to Jack Curry of the YES Network, they've snagged Dominic Smith on a minor-league deal. It's like picking up a lottery ticket—maybe you'll hit the jackpot today, or maybe you'll just get a free coffee.
This move adds another layer of "just in case" to a team having a splash this offseason to build a championship roster. Smith brings just enough to back up Goldschmidt...assuming Smith comes up.
So, I guess the idea of bringing back Anthony Rizzo in a backup/bench role on a one-year deal? Yeah, that feels like a dream that officially bit the dust. Too bad—Rizzo could’ve been the ultimate dugout cheerleader.
Smith spent last season hopping between the Boston Red Sox and Cincinnati Reds, racking up 93 games with some solidly "meh" stats: a .233 average, 6 homers, and 34 RBIs. Respectable? Sure. Spectacular? Not really. But hey, we’ll take him for a minor league deal!
Welcome aboard, Dominic!
