FORT MYERS, Fla. -- Cubs manager Joe Maddon was happy overall with how camp went for his team this spring.
He was most pleased with the way the team has jelled.
"The camaraderie, the coming together of the group," Maddon said. "Four years together now, really unique. A unique camp in the way that the guys interacted, meaning they're getting together as a group, talking about subjects outside of baseball. They're becoming even better human beings just by interacting with each other.
"I have nothing to do with it, nothing. It's about them. I really like the empowerment that I think our players feel from our office, the manager's office, the coaches, as well as the front office.
