The Rundown: Welcome to Dog Days of Winter, Reportedly No Strop Return, MLB Will Test Computer Zone This Spring

Are you as anxious as I am for spring training to start? Finding Cubs and general baseball new news to write about has become absolute drudgery. If a “dog days” of the offseason exists, we’re in it right now. It’s almost as if time is suspended between the end of Cubs Convention and the moment the team’s equipment managers empty those first bags of balls and bats.

If you’re counting down the days until pitchers and catchers report then you know we are just 19 days away, and if you’re looking for ways to keep yourself occupied (rather than refreshing the pages of your favorite news and rumors sites), allow me to help you out.
