Cubs Sign Ex-Mets Player Jackson Cluff
Per the MLB.com transactions tracker, the Cubs have signed SS Jackson Cluff.
He has since been assigned to Triple-A Iowa.
In 2026, in 62 games with the Syracuse Mets, Cluff batted .169 with six home runs and five doubles.
At 29 years old, Cluff is still waiting to make his MLB debut. It’s an interesting signing for the Cubs, as they are clearly trying to bolster their infield depth within the organization.
Across 1777 total minor league at-bats, Cluff has batted .214 with 48 home runs.
The Washington Nationals drafted Cluff in the 6th round of the 2019 MLB draft, and he’s played seven minors season. The Cubs will be his third MLB organization he’s belonged to.
