the team’s 2023 payroll would be close to the $233 million Competitive Balance Tax threshold. The addition Saturday of first baseman/designated hitter Trey Mancini leaves the Cubs roughly $16 million below the initial CBT tier.Mancini, who turns 31 in March, will reportedly have an opt out in his deal after the 2023 season as part of his two-year agreement with the Cubs.
Mancini struggled after the Baltimore Orioles traded him to Houston in August, posting a 75 OPS+ and .258 on-base percentage in 51 games.Mancini brings extra-bases potential to a lineup that needs proven power hitters. In 2019, his best season, Mancini tallied 38 doubles and 35 home runs with a 134 OPS+ in 154 games. He did not play in 2020 as he battled stage 3 colon cancer.
’ path to make the team out of spring training becomes more difficult now with the Mancini signing. A hot start to the season at Triple-A Iowa by the lefty slugger could force a promotion.
