Bresnahan Likely to Join Cubs in 1913 Sign-on Offer Report
Chicago based reports say Roger Bresnahan, former St. Louis catcher, will join the Chicago Cubs for the 1913 season. President Murphy reportedly made a bold offer, including a $10,000 signing premium, against Cincinnati and Pittsburgh, to secure Bresnahan for a three year deal worth $6,500 annually. The move positions Bresnahan as a working mate to Jim Archer as part of the Cubs’ plan for Evers’ squad.
