Cubs: ‘We definitely have a chip on our shoulder’
Kyle Schwarber has a chip on his shoulder.MESA, Ariz. – The Cubs didn’t show up for their first workout day of the spring Wednesday with a shiny new free agent starting pitcher or with any new big-ticket relievers.
But if you think the manager is the biggest thing that’s new to this team this spring, he’ll tell you the biggest addition is the chip on the team’s collective shoulder.
“I think they’ve enjoyed people kind of counting them out or having a little bit of the ‘what-if’ vibe,” manager David Ross said. “I think they’re out to prove something in what I see in their eyes and their comments.”
