Chicago Cubs: Forgotten players who suited up in 2016

Chicago Cubs: There was a fourth player to play behind the dish in 2016

The catchers of 2016: Miguel Montero, David Ross, Willson Contreras. Wait, there is one more! Tim Federowicz.

Federowicz was brought in on a minor league deal during the offseason as virtually the emergency catcher/September roster expansion depth. He had played in 89 MLB games from 2011-2014 with the Los Angeles Dodgers before coming to the Cubs organization. While he only ended up playing a total of 17 games in 2016 with the Cubs, he had multiple stints. He was up most of May, a few games in June and in late September/October.

Old “FedEx” hit .194/.212/.258 with three RBI and two doubles with the Cubs. In a game against the Padres, he hit an RBI double off the wall. Fun fact he was the starting catcher in the game they tied with the Pittsburgh Pirates on September 29th.

He has bounced around a bit since and is currently with the Texas Rangers organization.
