CUBS TRADE FOR CATCHER WILSON

The Chicago Cubs acquired catcher Bobby Wilson from the Minnesota Twins for catcher Chris Gimenez and a player to be named later or cash considerations.

What does it give the Chicago Cubs
Veteran Wilson will serve as a depth catcher for the Cubs down the stretch. He is currently on the 10-day disabled list because of a sprained ankle. Wilson may become the backup catcher.

What does it give the Minnesota Twins
The player to be named later in this trade is the key to the trade from a Twins perspective here, as Gimenez is merely another depth catcher who will play out the string in Minnesota in '18.

Fantasy impact
There is nothing to see here, as neither Wilson nor Gimenez have any fantasy value at this point.
