Cubs' Jesus Tinoco: Traded to Cubs

The Cubs acquired Tinoco from the Royals on Tuesday in exchange for cash considerations, Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune reports.

Tinoco has a 4.58 ERA in 57 career MLB games, nine of which came with the Rangers earlier this season before he was pushed off the 40-man roster and elected free agency. The 29-year-old has a 3.81 ERA and 34:10 K:BB in 20 appearances at the Triple-A level this season, and he'll start his tenure with the Cubs organization at Triple-A Iowa.
