But here's the mystery, apparently, solved: It's official: C.R., native and #IowaCubs OF Ryan Sweeney is headed to Chicago. #Cubs #PCL — Tommy Birch (@TommyBirch) May 6, 2013 There has been no official announcement from the Cubs yet, but I'd say this means Sappelt is being demoted to Iowa, and Ryan Sweeney is headed to Chicago to join the Cubs, presumably in time for Monday night's game against the Rangers .
