I can’t ignore the chance at a bad pun. But the Chicago Cubs Jose Quintana is making a change this winter. The plan is to use the changeup more frequently, cutting back the use of his fastball. Which hopefully will cut out us having to watch them leave the yard. He used the changeup just 6.8 percent of the time last year. That will need to increase as he gets a little older and fastball velocity can start to drop. Quintana is already a reliable starter; this can only help matters.
Has the Manny Machado signing changed anything for the Cubs?
