MESA, Ariz. - Matt Murton wants to be more than just a blast from the past in this Cubs camp.
The 34-year-old outfielder knows the clock will strike midnight on his career soon, but he wants to give it everything he's got before riding off into the sunset.
"The way I look at it in life, you get one shot at things," Murton said. "Your window as a ballplayer is short. I'm at a point now where I'm gonna throw it out there.
"I'm gonna give it what I have and I don't want my baseball career to end without having given this an opportunity.
