Former Toronto Blue Jays outfielder surprisingly signs with the Chicago Cubs

The San Diego Padres announced a week ago that Wall decided to opt out of his contract mostly due to the fact that he was putting up solid numbers in the minors but was getting looked at for a call up.

Wall agreed to a minor league deal with the Cubs and they have now optioned him to Triple-A where he will begin his time with the Cubs organization as he looks for a call up to the majors.

Wall has been putting up incredible numbers in the minors this season as he currently has a .298 batting average, .384 on base percentage with 4 homeruns and 39 RBIs in 69 games played during his time with the Padres organization.

During his time in Toronto, Wall never played in the MLB where he spent the majority of his time with the Buffalo Bisons between 2019 and 2020 before being moving onto Seattle.

Wall played in 16 games in the MLB last season between the Miami Marlins and Atlanta Braves but failed to make a lasting impression to stick around as both teams ended up letting him go.

If Wall is able to continue the same production he was putting up with the Padres Triple-A team he will force the Cubs to take a look at him if an injury happens sometime between now and the end of the season.
