Cubs Sign Tomás Nido, Designate Yan Gomes for Assignment

Nido joins Cubs after Mets release; set to face former team in upcoming series.

Tomás Nido, a veteran catcher, signed with the Chicago Cubs after being released by the New York Mets.
Yan Gomes was designated for assignment by the Cubs due to declining offensive and defensive performance.
Nido, known for his defensive skills, has a batting average of .229 this season with three home runs.
The Cubs aim to improve their catching position's offensive output with Nido's addition.
Nido will face his former team, the Mets, in a three-game series starting Friday.
