The rivalry is back on! Okay, not really, but the Cubs welcome the White Sox to Sloan Park Friday in what still amounts to a cross-town contest. This is a big one for the burgeoning South Side squad, which gets to play in front of a bigger crowd than they’re used to hosting at Guaranteed Rate. That could change this year, however, as big free agent signings and some talented youngsters are planning to make some noise.
The Cubs will counter with Nico Hoerner leading off at second, followed by Kyle Schwarber in left and Willson Contreras at DH.
