Glove story
Some players are playing like they have money on making the top defensive play of the spring. In the second inning, Class A shortstop Gleyber Torres— the Cubs’ top prospect— ranged to the second-base side of the bag to make a sliding snare, then leaped, spun and threw for the close out. Torres was invited from the minor-league side of camp for the day. Three innings later, center fielder Albert Almora sprinted to the warning track in left-center and dove to rob
Jesse Winker of extra bases. “Amazing,” Montero said. “I don’t think anybody else would have gotten to that ball.”
