Alburquerque, 23, was off to a great start for Single-A Daytona, going 1-0 with a 2.08 ERA in 24 appearances. He is one of the older players down in Single-A, but could benefit from an opportunity at the Double-A level with the Rockies.
Cubs acquire Baker
Share
The Cubs have traded minor league prospect Al Alburquerque to the Rockies for infielder Jeff Baker. To make room for Baker, the Cubs designated Ryan Freel for assignment. The Cubs bring in another player to fill the role that was left when they traded Mark DeRosa last off season. Baker is a career .257 hitter, however, he hit .268 with 12 home runs last season for the Rockies, with 23 extra-base hits and playing time at first, second, third, and right field.
