Report: Cubs add Rockies’ Baker

Yahoo sports reports the Cubs have traded for Jeff Baker. Baker, (who can play multiple positions) could be used in a role simular to the way the Cubs used Mark DeRosa.

The Chicago Cubs have acquired Jeff Baker(notes) from the Colorado Rockies, according to a source close to the club.

It is unclear who the Rockies will receive in return for Baker or the Cubs’ plans for him.

Baker, an infielder, went on the 15-day disabled list retroactive to April 27 and was transferred to the 60-day DL on May 24. He began a minor league rehab assignment June 19.
