Welcome to today’s edition of Cub Tracks news and notes™, a greatest-hits collection of Chicago-style beat writers and bloggers, ground from #Cubs, #MiLB, and #MLB baseball, overheated, steeped in writers’ tears, and then cold-brewed overnight for maximum flavor.
Cub Tracks wants it to be known that we feel real good about Cody Bellinger’s 2023. This could be a mixed blessing — last year we felt real good about Nico Hoerner and Alfonso Rivas. That was 50/50, in 20/20 hindsight.
