Coghlan was traded to the Cubs on Thursday in exchange for Arismendy Alcantara, Joe Stiglich of CSN California reports.

EDGE Analysis

Coghlan will be heading back to his former team with Thursday's deal that sends him to the Cubs. He is an immensely versatile player that can stick at in the infield or in a corner outfield spot. With Jorge Soler on the disabled list for the Cubs, Coghlan could see playing time in left field once he reports to the team. However, Coghlan could also be a fill-in in the infield for the injured Tommy La Stella as well.
