Cubs' Miles Mastrobuoni: Could compete for bench spot
Mastrobuoni is an option to earn a bench role with the Cubs out of spring training, Andy Martinez of Marquee Sports Network reports.
Mastrobuoni was acquired in a trade from Tampa Bay in November. The 27-year-old appeared in only eight games for the Rays during his MLB debut in 2022, so he's likely to start the year in the minors. However, he's a lefty bat with some positional flexibility, so he could force his way onto the roster with a strong spring.

Cubs' Miles Mastrobuoni: Dealt to Cubs
Mastrobuoni was traded from the Rays to the Cubs on Tuesday in exchange for a low-level pitching prospect, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
As Topkin notes, this will open up a 40-man roster spot for the Rays that they can use to protect a prospect from the Rule 5 draft. Mastrobuoni can play second base and the outfield and hit .300/.377/.469 with 16 home runs and 23 steals in 129 games as a 26-year-old at Triple-A this past season. He will compete with Zach McKinstry for lefty-hitting utility work in 2023.

Rays' Miles Mastrobuoni: Optioned to minors
The Rays optioned Mastrobuoni to Triple-A Durham on Monday.
During his first stint in the majors, Mastrobuoni saw action in eight games and slashed .188/.235/.188 with a stolen base across 17 plate appearances. He'll be replaced on the 28-man active roster by another utility type in Vidal Brujan, who was called up from Durham in a corresponding move.

Rays' Miles Mastrobuoni: Productive in first start
Mastrobuoni went 2-for-4 with a run scored Friday against the Blue Jays.
Mastrobuoni made his first big-league start, hitting seventh while starting at second base. He chipped in a pair of singles, also coming around to score his first run in the majors. Mastrobuoni isn't likely to see significant playing time moving forward, though he could get some plate appearances so long as Yandy Diaz (shoulder) is banged up.

Rays' Miles Mastrobuoni: Gets first call to majors
Mastrobuoni's contract was purchased from Triple-A Durham on Thursday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Mastrobuoni had seemed like a potential utility prospect for several years thanks to his solid hit tool and defensive versatility. This is the first year in six minor-league seasons the 26-year-old logged an ISO over .150. He hit .300/.377/.469 with 16 home runs and 23 steals in 129 games at Triple-A. Mastrobuoni played 56 games at second base, with another handful of starts coming at shortstop, third base and all three outfield spots.

Rays' Miles Mastrobuoni: Showing well this spring
Mastrobuoni, who slugged his second home run of spring in Wednesday's Grapefruit League win over the Pirates, is hitting .294 (5-for-17) across 10 exbibitions.
Mastrobuoni's well-rounded line includes two doubles, two homers, three RBI, two walks and six runs -- rock-solid numbers for a prospect who's never actually demonstrated much pop at the minor-league level. However, the 25-year-old has been an above-average on-base presence and has recorded double-digit steals at three different professional stops. His spring showing and the fact that he got four games of exposure to the Triple-A level back in 2019 makes it likely he opens the campaign there again in 2021.
