Cubs Release Veteran Outfielder Kiki Cuyler
Chicago announces the unconditional release of Kiki Cuyler, veteran centerfielder for the Cubs. Cuyler joined the Cubs in 1927 in a trade and played 14 major league seasons with four pennant clubs and three World Series appearances. Waivers were placed three days earlier but no NL club claimed him. The move leaves 22 Cubs and room for one more, with manager Charlie Grimm targeting a southpaw pitcher.
