Cody Bellinger Goes Back to the Cubs, Spring Games Begin, & Working Backward for Draft Strategy
Eno and DVR discuss Cody Bellinger's return to the Cubs on a short contract with multiple opt-outs, the start of TGFBI, a busy first weekend of spring action that featured a lot of new pitches, and a lot of information about velocity and iVB changes.
