"I don't know."
The Diamondbacks signed Eric Chavez to a one year, $3 million. Chavez, 35, played last season mostly at DH with a .281 BA, 16 HR, 37 RBI. He had a 1.5 WAR.
The White Sox signed Jeff Keppinger to a three year, $12 million deal. Keppinger, 32, is a career .288 hitter. Last season with the Rays, he had a career high 2.4 WAR.He hit .325, 9 HR, 40 RBI last season.
Chavez and Keppinger were on our list as potential short-term caretaker third basemen for the Cubs. In a market devoid of third base talent, the Cubs hole at third base grows deeper.
There are no signs from the winter meetings that the Cubs are active in any trades or free agent moves for expensive position players.
