MESA, Ariz. -- He’s putting on a Chicago Cubs uniform for the first time since 2008 after spending six years playing in Japan, so 34 year-old outfielder Matt Murton is going to make the best of it.
“The way I look at it in life is that you have one shot at things,” Murton said from Cubs camp. “Your window as a ballplayer is short. I’m at that point where I’m going to throw it out there and give it what I have. I don’t want my baseball career to end without giving this an opportunity so I’m just excited for that.
