The Chicago Cubs signed Jason Heyward to the biggest contract in team history, and some have speculated they might have overpaid. Heyward can’t hear those people and just goes out to play ball, even when it’s just spring games. Heyward drove in three runs with two RBI doubles as the Cubs chased Tyson Ross even earlier than anticipated.
Clayton Richard made his first Cactus league start after making a few appearances out of the bullpen and pitched well again walking two and allowing just one hit in two innings of work.
