Welcome to today’s episode of Cub Tracks news and notes™, featuring material from current beat writers, bloggers, and the occasional in-house habitué, moonlighting. These pieces center around #Cubs, #MiLB, and #MLB baseball.
The Cubs played two Friday afternoon, beginning the last weekend of Spring Training. Final roster cuts loom, and it looks like my dark horse Alfonso Rivas is headed to Triple-A. This is unfortunate in that his bat plays, and he’s actually a decent corner outfielder, which he played plenty of at the old U of A, and could figure into that mix also, but the Cubs still have Jason Heyward.
