In case you hadn’t noticed, there isn’t a whole helluva lot of activity involving the Cubs these days. I mean, sure, they traded for a little infield depth in Ronald Torreyes and they inked Kyle Ryan to a big league deal to give them another lefty option, but that stuff only moves the needle so far. So like any good chef without much in the way of raw materials, I decided to toss a few leftovers together in hopes of cobbling together a passable meal.
You know what, though? This is actually more like a dessert, maybe a cookie or something like that, just a for-entertainment-only look at a pair of players who’ve been inextricably linked by a common hometown and uncommonly good production.
