How did you find out you were traded to the Cubs this offseason?
I was actually in my deer stand down by Kinmundy. I got a phone call from Texas and thought I had better answer it. It was someone in the front office telling me I got traded. I was shocked. I didn’t know I was being considered for a trade, but this game is crazy, so it can happen any time.
What’s Joe Maddon like?
Joe is very easy to play for. He’s definitely a players’ manager. He likes to keep it light.
