Cubs pick up a low-risk backup plan to Moises Ballesteros in unexpected signing

This is what I get for forgetting my phone (and headphones) in the car at the gym. I come out, still trying to get back in a rhythm after a week on the road - but instead of a chill morning, Jed Hoyer was back in the kitchen, adding former All-Star Michael Conforto to the Chicago Cubs' bench mix.

It's a move that would've been more notable 5+ years ago, but given this is just the latest move in the Cubs' volume-driven approach to rounding out the roster, it's only barely more noteworthy than the team's pick-ups of Dylan Carlson and Chas McCormick during the offseason.
