Marquee Sports Network again plans to air almost every Cubs spring-training game this season.

Marquee Sports Network will air a majority of Cubs spring-training games this season remotely, the Sun-Times has learned.

The lead tandem of Jon Sciambi and Jim Deshaies will be in Arizona for the first weekend of games at the end of this month. Most of the remaining games will be called remotely. While the availability of broadcasters is part of the equation, sources say Marquee also is looking to cut costs and focus on regular-season game and shoulder programming.
