What did the Cubs really think of how Team Venezuela handled their closer? The Athletic’s Sahadev Sharma and Patrick Mooney explain Palencia’s rise through the organization and onto the stage of an electric championship game. As the Cubs welcome key players back from the WBC, the focus will be getting the entire group on the same page and preparing for Opening Day. How will the pitching staff take shape? And what should we make of the Cactus League performances by Jameson Taillon, Shota Imanaga, Cade Horton and Edward Cabrera? Listen to North Side Territory all season long for the latest information and unique insights from the clubhouse and the front office.
