ERMA – Lower Cape May Regional High School graduate and former Chicago Cubs outfielder Matt Szczur was traded to the San Diego Padres on May 8 after being designated for assignment two days earlier. Since Szczur is out of Minor League options, talks of the trade came during Spring Training when the Padres became aware of the Cubs’ crowded outfield situation. He was automatically added to the Padres’ active roster.
Szczur spent all four of his major league seasons with the Chicago Cubs and was a part of the 2016 World Series winning team.
UPDATE: Szczur made his Padres debut in the seventh inning as a pinch hitter in May 9’s game against the Texas Rangers. He grounded out in the team’s 11-0 loss.
Cape May – Governor Murphy says he doesn't know anything about the drones and doesn't know what they are doing but he does know that they are not dangerous. Does anyone feel better now?
