As for free-agent outfielder Magglio Ordonez, the Cubs will consider him only if Sosa is traded and they don’t get an outfielder in exchange. They haven’t even investigated Ordonez’s physical status with his troublesome knee.
Just for a moment, let me point out That Sucks.
Someone’s got to get to Dusty during the convention, and remind him Todd wears down after long stretches. He’s gotta play Dubios at some point.

Last year, they really had no slots up for grabs in Spring Training. There’s at least four this year.
That bench looks awful weak. They need one more guy.
