You can tell it’s getting close to spring training because we are seeing a lot of Cubs news and getting quite a bit of quotes and soundbites up and down the organization. Of course, rumors surrounding a certain all-star third baseman continue to drive storylines across baseball media. You may not want to hold your breath on the end of those whispers, because they’re likely to persist until the trade deadline if a move is not made beforehand.
In the meantime, it’s time to get excited about baseball. Pitchers and catchers report in just two days and some players are already off to a nice head start.
