Cubs sign Tomas Perez

The Cubs signed utility player Tomas Perez to a minor league contract. I can’t figure out why Hendry would waste any money on this player because if he makes the team, then the Cubs might as well pack it in and I really don’t see why Iowa needs a 33 year old utility guy who doesn’t do much of anything. He can’t hit and doesn’t have blazing speed and every year his OPS gets worse (starting in 2000).784, .711, .699, .672, .566, .510. Maybe Hendry was getting the shakes for a Macias or Perez fix and Ronny Cedeno just wasn’t doing it.
