Chicago Cubs manager unhappy with Vidal Brujan after critical mistake in loss
Third base is an eyesore for the Chicago Cubs after one month of baseball.
After his struggles at the plate, the Cubs sent Matt Shaw to Triple-A earlier in April. Chicago DFA’d Rule 5 pick Gage Workman before trading him to the Chicago White Sox on Saturday after committing two errors in a win over the Los Angeles Dodgers on Tuesday.
On Sunday night, Vidal Brujan made a costly mistake in the Cubs’ 3-1 loss to the Philadelphia Phillies in front of 35,761 fans at Wrigley Field. Brujan played deep at third base and didn’t come up to field a ground ball by Trea Turner, allowing Max Kepler to score and make it a 3-1 game with two outs in the tenth inning.

Cubs insider Bruce Levine told Marquee Sports Network that Brujan was playing too deep.
“You can argue up and back whether Bruján could have charged that ball and made a different play,” Levine said. “He’s playing way too deep to do that.”

Chicago Cubs manager Craig Counsell was unhappy with the play
Following the game, Cubs manager Craig Counsell voiced his irritation with Brujan.
You gotta go get that ball,” Counsell said. “With the speed of Turner, you gotta go get it.”

Regardless of allowing an extra run to score, the Phillies already had a 2-1 lead before Turner drove in Kepler. Chicago produced no runs in the bottom of the 10th.
The Cubs have an off day on Monday before they start their series on the road against the Pittsburgh Pirates.
Chicago is reportedly in the market to add help to the starting rotation and bullpen. If Brujan doesn’t improve quickly, will the team explore other options at third base?
