The Angels want a young catcher, and Cubs’ top prospect Owen Ayers fits the bill.

Cubs Send Alcantara Down for Triantos | Chicago Cubs News

The Cubs send outfielder Kevin Alcantara back to the minors to make room for rising prospect James Triantos, a move that reflects roster strategy over performance—Alcantara’s limited at-bats and modest stats this season don’t define his future, as prospects often shuttle between levels. With the team seven games behind in the division, this shuffle could signal a push for younger talent or better alignment with current needs. Alcantara’s not out of the picture—his development continues, and another call-up could be on the horizon. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
