The Chicago Cubs crazy offseason aside, I’m not sure the MLBPA is excited to see the pitch clock making its way into Spring Training. There seems to be a lot of hostility between the league and the union. And while Manfred can institute it unilaterally, it might be a bad idea. It’s highly unlikely we see it make its way into the regular season. But when the CBA comes up again, it will be a hard push from the league to bring it to everyday play.
The Cubs’ farm system isn’t exactly loaded with pitching talent.
