With February drawing to a close, the Chicago Cubs will be hitting the field this upcoming Thursday when they take on the Milwaukee Brewers to begin Cactus League play.
This team that reached the National League Championship Series just five months ago made several moves over the offseason. Following the additions of John Lackey, Jason Heyward, and Ben Zobrist, Theo Epstein and Jed Hoyer somehow managed to get Dexter Fowler to return for $7.8 million less than his qualifying offer.
That was after a report regarding a multi-year deal between Fowler and the Baltimore Orioles was released to the public.
