Over the past two seasons, there has been very little drama for the Chicago Cubs. The biggest may have been Tommy La Stella‘s refusal to report to Triple-A Iowa after being sent down.

La Stella has assured the team he would accept an assignment to Iowa if he isn’t on the opening day roster. And then there’s Ian Happ.
One of these three will be on the Opening Day roster–and it isn’t going to be Happ.
