Cubs first baseman Michael Busch smiled and put his hand up for Alexander Canario to slap as infielders converged post-workout Tuesday. They’d just taken reps at their secondary positions. And while Busch ran through middle infield drills, Canario, an outfielder, tried his hand at first base.
“I felt good,” Canario told the Sun-Times through team interpreter Fredy Quevedo Jr. on Wednesday. “I liked it. It was nothing serious. But it was all good.”
The Cubs are exploring their first base options behind Busch, who went from a utility player coming up in the Dodgers organization, to the Cubs’ primary first baseman last year in his first full major-league season.
