MESA, Arizona — Tuesday afternoon, I headed over to Sloan Park to see the Arizona Fall League game between the Mesa Solar Sox and Salt River Rafters. (I love the AFL nicknames!)
The Solar Sox, who include Cubs prospects, won the game 9-8, but I’m not going to spend a lot of time on rehashing the game itself. Mainly, that’s because Matt Mervis, who I did want to see, didn’t play in this game. I did go to the AFL Fall Stars Game on Sunday and saw him win MVP honors, but didn’t write that up as Josh covered it all in his weekly AFL wrap.
