MESA, Ariz. – Kyle Tucker, the Cubs’ big offseason addition, and Ian Happ, the longest-tenured player on the team, plopped down next to each other in the first base dugout on Field 2 of the Cubs’ spring training complex.
In the hubbub of the first day of full-squad workouts, the transition between outfield work and batting practice gave them a few minutes to just chat.
“It’s been a lot of fun getting to know the guys more on a personal level, and be around them every day now, and looking forward to getting after it,” Tucker said Friday.
