## Resource

Nearing the end of spring training, The Athletic’s Sahadev Sharma and Patrick Mooney open their notebooks for some information on how the team is coming together. Why did Cubs manager Craig Counsell tell his hitting coaches to stay away from Ballesteros? And what’s the story behind this elite hitting prospect? Plus, some reports from evaluators who maybe aren’t as high on Chicago’s pitching staff. Should this be a concern heading into Opening Day? All that and more on the latest episode of North Side Territory, your go-to show for a behind-the-scenes look at the Cubs.    Get 10% off your first month of BlueChew Gold with code FOUL at BlueChew.com See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
