The regular season starts on Thursday, which means we are less than a week away! The anticipation is really getting to most fans, but here is a recap of spring training in the central to hold you over.
Chicago Cubs
- The Cubs are 18-12 this spring
- As the roster takes shape, Victor Caratini has been named the backup catcher over Chris Gimenez
- Joe Maddon announced that the Cubs will carry eight relievers ;this is good news for a guy like Eddie Butler, who has been battling for a spot on the roster the entire spring
- Ian Happ has seven home runs this spring, five of which have led off games; are the Cubs still looking for a leadoff hitter?
