Cubs Talk Podcast: Checking in with Tony Andracki, Kyle Schwarber and Tyler Chatwood

MESA, Ariz. — The Tyler Chatwood Conundrum has been hovering over the Cubs all winter.

Where does he fit in on the 2019 pitching staff? If all the Cubs starters come out of spring training healthy, does that leave Chatwood in the bullpen? And if so, in what role? If a starting pitcher does get hurt, will it be Chatwood or Mike Montgomery to slide into the rotation as a replacement?

The Cubs don't have those answers yet with camp only two days old. In reality, the Chatwood picture probably won't become clear for weeks.

"Of course we'll give him a good look in camp and it's just gonna be up to him," Joe Maddon said.
