The Chicago Cubs are going to be a much-different team when they take the diamond this spring, but it’s never too early to ask how their lineup will look on Opening Day.

Mike Trout eager to lead Team USA repeat bid at World Baseball Classic

Trout took a pass on the World Baseball Classic in 2017, when Team USA won the tournament for the first time in four tries.
