March 26, 2025
Bote has exercised his upward mobility clause, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.
Analysis
The move allows Bote to leave if another organization wants to give him a major-league contract. If that doesn't happen, he will report to Triple-A Oklahoma City. Bote had a great spring training, hitting .400 with a couple homers, but he has just 48 plate appearances in the big leagues over the last two seasons.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2022
2021
2020
2019
It was mostly a lost season for Bote in 2022, and he finished it by getting outrighted to Triple-A Iowa in November, which removes him from the 40-man roster heading into 2023. The utility player didn't make his season debut until late June due to shoulder surgery the previous offseason, and shoulder issues continued to hamper him throughout the year. Bote ended up playing in a career-low 41 games for the Cubs and appeared in nearly as many games at Triple-A (38). When healthy and playing more regularly, Bote has provided some value as a versatile defender who can occasionally offer some pop as well. His best season came in 2019, when he registered career bests with 11 home runs, 41 RBI and a .784 OPS across 127 games. That looks like a distant memory as he enters his age-30 season, as the likes of Nico Hoerner, Nick Madrigal and Patrick Wisdom figure to absorb most of Bote's potential playing time. He figures to be organizational depth in 2023 with limited fantasy appeal.
Bote's career appears to have peaked in 2019. It has been nothing but struggle since with 2022 not looking much better. Bote has hit under .200 over the last two seasons around his walks and strikeouts, and he is spending the offseason recovering from November left shoulder surgery. Front shoulder surgery for a hitter is never a good thing as it limits the extension a hitter can get on the swing thereby limiting the hitter's power. Given Bote's struggles the past two seasons with hitting, you are safer planning on another down year rather than hoping he rediscovers his 2018-19 form.
Bote is often more valuable in real life than he is in fantasy. The 27-year-old is able to play multiple infield positions and handle the bat decently, which makes him a useful reserve for the Cubs, especially with Kris Bryant dealing with some injury issues the past few seasons. However, the presence of Bryant and several other players keeps Bote from playing every day, and that of course limits his fantasy appeal. Bote appeared in 45 games during the shortened 2020 campaign, slashing .200/.303/.408 with seven home runs and a team-high 29 RBI. His best season came a year earlier, when he played in 127 games and hit 11 home runs with a .784 OPS. The Cubs have a 2021 team option on Bryant, though his name has also come up as a potential trade candidate. Bote's 2021 outlook largely depends on what happens with Bryant. If regular playing time opens up at third, Bote will see his fantasy stock rise.
Bote's defensive versatility provided him with considerable, albeit inconsistent, playing time during the 2019 season. His output was once again hindered by a 1.86 GB/FB rate, which would have ranked ninth-worst among all hitters had he qualified. The 26-year-old had an above-average walk rate of 12.4%, but also carried a 26.1 K%, which is especially concerning given his lack of power. Bote's 2020 outlook took another hit when Nico Hoerner impressed in his limited sample at shortstop late in the season; Javier Baez figures to shift to second base, blocking Bote's best path to playing time. Given Bote's modest production in limited opportunities over the past two seasons, he's best left for NL-only leagues, with duel eligibility (3B and 2B) helping his case in those formats. If Kris Bryant is traded, Bote could sneak into the mixed-league conversation, though he's unlikely to be a difference maker.
Bote is a hard guy to figure out. If we combine his Triple-A and major-league numbers from last season, we get 19 home runs and 140 runs-plus-RBI in 473 plate appearances. That's exciting if we prorate those numbers over the course of a full season, but his batting average and on-base percentage are both slightly below the league average. He will, as manager Joe Maddon loves to say, "accept his walk," but he also strikes out a lot. We don't yet have enough of a sample size to get into what his split are, but we do have enough data to show that his power upside is going to be limited by a high groundball rate. He has tried to add more loft to his swing, but it will be tough to overcome his 2.4 groundball-to-flyball ratio. At least Bote's utility role should remain intact.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Starting at hot corner recently
2BChicago Cubs  AAA
September 21, 2022
Including Wednesday's game, Bote has started five of the last six games at third base for the Cubs.
Analysis
Bote was recalled from Triple-A Iowa at the beginning of the month and is 9-for-32 with two home runs in his last nine starts. The 29-year-old has served as a utility man for the Cubs over the last five seasons, but he struggled mightily at the plate the last two seasons and missed the majority of this year with a shoulder injury and bouts of dizziness. He's fanned in 39 percent of his plate appearances this year and was demoted in August, causing some to speculate whether he's fallen out of favor in Chicago. With the recent playing time at the hot corner, it appears the Cubs are giving him a shot to prove he's worthy of a future roster spot.
