The Cubs got themselves all fancy today for Spring Training work, and it’s got me thinking about that first game back at Wrigley Field.
When the Cubs will be looking like this:

Extend these gents (assuming they don’t have to fight each other for extensions):
The Rizzo, Báez and Bryant BP group is crushing baseballs this morning, each hitting multiple homers. Sure, it’s BP but still good to see if you’re the Cubs.

One of these things is not like the others (but he’s still a very good baseball player):

Speaking of new guys, Round One goes to Joc:
Per @M_Montemurro, Joc Pederson’s first homer of the year was a shot off Trevor Williams in live BP at Sloan Park. @GDubCub @Russ_Dorsey1 and I were at Field 1 watching Rizzo, Bryant and Báez face live pitching.
