Cubs manager David Ross was excited. How excited? So excited, he raised both fists in the air and shook them — gently, but still — while sharing the news in a video conference with reporters.
“We’re getting him out of Florida!” Ross said, smiling widely. “He’s coming!”
Kyle Ryan, that is. Somewhere along the way, the lefty reliever became a really big deal. The Cubs see him as one of the backbone pieces of their bullpen, for sure.
Ryan is late to camp due to what the Cubs have termed “protocol technicalities” and a “process-based” testing delay.
