Waiting game: How Cubs players are preparing for uncertain spring training start

MESA, Ariz. — The Cubs players’ group chat has been abuzz with updates from Ian Happ, their Major League Baseball Players Association team representative, and questions and feedback from the rest of the group.

“I’m sure I have some [messages] right now,” third baseman Patrick Wisdom said as he left Bell Bank Park, a multisports complex where the MLBPA has reserved fields and facilities during the lockout.

Other than that back-and-forth, they’re following along on social media and in news reports just like their fans.

The Cubs’ presence at the Arizona players association site grew this week, with Wisdom joining Monday.
