Jim Adduci: Transitions to coaching career
The Cubs announced last week that Jim Adduci has been hired as the organization's run production coordinator, signaling the end of his playing career, Mark Gonzales of the Chicago Tribune reports.Adduci's last MLB action came in 2019, but he was part of the Rangers' 60-man roster pool during the pandemic-shortened 2020 campaign. Rather than having to settle for a minor-league contract this winter and a likely assignment to a Triple-A affiliate in 2021, the 35-year-old outfielder has instead decide to hang up his cleats. Over parts of five seasons in the majors with the Rangers, Tigers and Cubs, Adduci slashed .232/.283/.336 across 431 plate appearances.

Cubs' Jim Adduci: Called up Monday

The Chicago Cubs reassigned Jim Adduci to their minor-league camp Saturday, Jordan Bastian of MLB.com reports.Unless he requests his release from the organization, Adduci is slated to open the season at Triple-A Iowa. The 33-year-old has appeared in 88 games at the big-league level with the Tigers the past two seasons, but his status as a non-roster player in addition to the Cubs' wealth of intriguing bench options will make resurfacing in the majors an uphill battle for him.

Cubs' Jim Adduci: Joins Cubs on minors deal
Jim Adduci agreed Wednesday with the Chicago Cubs on a minor-league contract, Brandon Warne of ZoneCoverage.com reports.Adduci received some extended run in Detroit last season while Miguel Cabrera (biceps) was on the shelf, but did little with the opportunity, slashing a meager .267/.290/.386 across 185 plate appearances. Set to turn 34 years old in March and now joining an organization teeming with quality position-player depth on the 40-man roster, Adduci seems unlikely to see meaningful action with Chicago in 2019.
