The Chicago Cubs announced today that they have released Kevin Millar, after he lost out on a roster spot to Chad Tracy. Millar signed with the Cubs in February in hopes of making the team as right handed hitter off the bench who could play first and third base. Millar, in 33 at bats with the Cubs this spring hit .242 with a home run and three RBI’s.
Millar, 38, spent his time with the Blue Jays last year in which he had a line of .223/.311/.363 with 7 home runs and 29 RBI’s. The Rangers are expected to have some sort of interest in Millar as a backup first basemen.
