MESA, Arizona — The best thing about being out at Sloan Park for the Cubs’ 8-4 win over the Brewers wasn’t the win, because most of the guys who produced this win won’t be part of the Cubs this season. I can’t really even give you much analysis of the guys who pitched, because it’s very likely that not one of the eight men who threw baseballs off the mound at Sloan Park Saturday will wear a Cubs uniform during the 2019 regular season.
Instead, the best thing was just being part of the sights and sounds of baseball again, especially after this offseasonus horribilis.
