CINCINNATI – Hayden Wesneski thought he’d be finishing this season in Scranton, Pennsylvania as a Triple-A pitcher in the Yankees’ farm system.
Instead, he ended it on the Great American Ball Park mound as a big-league starter for the Cubs.
“If you had told meI’d be right here in this spot,” he said, standing in front of his locker in the visiting clubhouse after holding the Reds to one earned run in the Cubs’ 3-1 loss Monday, “I’d tell you, you were lying. … It’s just been a crazy year.”
Wesneski has gone through plenty of transition over the past couple months.
