Center fielder Cody Bellinger was one of two players the Cubs agreed to terms with at the winter meetings.

SAN DIEGO – One of the first things Carter Hawkins did when he accepted the job as Cubs general manager a year ago was to delete Twitter, he said this week at the winter meetings.

He has other ways to gauge fan opinion. He can feel Cubs fans’ hunger just walking around Wrigley Field. He said at his kids’ birthday parties he’ll hear grumblings about what “they” did.

“It’s very obvious how much the fans want a winner,” Hawkins said.
