Cubs right-hander Ben Brown is working on adding a changeup and slider to his repertoire.

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. – Five starts into Ryan Jensen’s season last year, the Cubs came to him with a choice. He could stay in Double-A Tennessee and see how far his current mechanics could take him, or he could take time out of the season and go to the Cubs’ spring training complex in Arizona to revamp his delivery top to bottom.

Jensen had been working on his lower half in spring, but this would be a more intensive process.
