MONTREAL, Aug. 31 (UPI) -- The Chicago Cubs on Tuesday got catcher Mike DiFelice from Detroit and outfielder Ben Grieve from Milwaukee -- both for a player to be named later.
DiFelice, 35, will be joining his fifth major league team since his debut in 1996. He has spent the majority of 2004 with Triple-A Toledo. In 13 games with the Tigers, he hit only .136. He is a career .240 hitter with 28 home runs and 157 RBI.
The Cubs, who lead the NL wild card race going into Tuesday's action, currently have two other catchers on their roster -- Michael Barrett and Paul Bako.
Grieve hit .261 with seven homers and 29 RBI in 108 games for the Brewers this season. The 28-year-old, who won the AL Rookie of the Year in 1998 with Oakland, is a career .269 hitter with 117 homers and 485 RBI in eight big league seasons.
