Last week, we learned the Chicago Cubs are heading into spring training with a projected outfield of Kyle Schwarber, Albert Almora and Jason Heyward. That likely means you’ll see Ian Happ as the team’s fourth outfielder while Ben Zobrist sees more reps at second base early in the year while Addison Russell serves the remainder of his 40-game suspension.
As has been the case annually under manager Joe Maddon, this is a roster with tremendous versatility. Zobrist, Happ, Kris Bryant and Javier Baez are all capable of moving around the diamond on a daily basis.
