The Cubs play their first game of the Cactus League slate Monday afternoon and in a wonderful twist, it actually feels like spring across most of the Midwest. It’s not supposed to get out of the 30’s today, but the sun will be shining and these might be the coolest temps for at least the next week. That’s something to celebrate.
Those of you missing Michael Canter can fear not, his absence today is due to a work emergency and isn’t health-related. It’s a little last-minute, though, so please excuse the format change.
In typical spring training fashion, the lineup card David Ross released Sunday features only about half regulars.
