"For the first time in recent memory, the beef won't be the most Italian thing about a Cubs home game. That's because Team Italy is visiting Sloan Park for a tune-up ahead of World Baseball Classic pool play. In addition to Giaconino Lasaracina and Claudio Scotti, the squad boasts Kyle Teel and Aaron Nola."
"This is one that would be really nice to see because it features Cade Horton on the mound, and his first appearance wasn't on TV either. Not only that, but the lineup is full of regulars. Michael Busch leads off at first, Nico Hoerner is at second, Ian Happ is in left, and Dansby Swanson cleans up at short."
The Chicago Cubs are hosting Team Italy at Sloan Park for a preparatory game before World Baseball Classic pool play begins. The Italian squad includes several notable players such as Kyle Teel, Aaron Nola, and former Cubs players Jon Berti and Miles Mastrobuoni. Manager Francisco Cervelli has not yet announced his lineup or starting pitcher. The Cubs will field a roster of regulars including Dansby Swanson at shortstop, Nico Hoerner at second base, Ian Happ in left field, Michael Busch at first base, and Cade Horton on the mound. The game begins at 2:05pm CT and can be followed online, though it will not be broadcast on television.
