Today, the Chicago Cubs are playing the Colorado Rockies in a Cactus League game at Salt River Fields, and Nolan Arenado started in his regular spot at third base.

Free agent pitchers Jake Arrieta, Lance Lynn and Alex Cobb still looking for homes but baseball people tell me they'll need to sign before end of this week to be ready for opening of season, no matter what they're doing on their own. Opening day three weeks from Thursday.
