MESA, Ariz. – Eric Hosmer’s long fly ball bounced off the Sloan Park wall in left-center, and one of his new teammates shouted, “Belli robbed it.”
“Shocker,” Hosmer said.
Center fielder Cody Bellinger had robbed Hosmer before, when they were National League West rivals, Bellinger with the Dodgers and Hosmer with the Padres. But on Wednesday, they were on the same side, taking live batting practice and trading banter with their Cubs teammates.
