"Hunter Harvey was one of the Cubs' riskiest, but highest upside additions to the bullpen this offseason. If you recall, despite throwing just 10.2 innings after August 4, 2024, Harvey got $6M from the Cubs this winter. And that's because when he's healthy, he's a big, hard-throwing, frequently successful 31-year-old reliever."
"It's also yet ANOTHER day of catching for Moises Ballesteros, which is awesome. He's looked surprisingly good, to be honest, which is encouraging. I'm more of a believer that he can occasionally contribute behind the plate this season now than I had been before the spring."
The Cubs face the Giants in a spring training matchup featuring Hunter Harvey, a 31-year-old reliever acquired by Chicago this offseason. Despite limited innings pitched late last season, Harvey received a $6M contract due to his high upside when healthy. The Cubs lineup consists primarily of regular players, including Michael Busch, Nico Hoerner, Ian Happ, and Dansby Swanson, with some bench contenders like Michael Conforto and Dylan Carlson also playing. Catcher Moises Ballesteros continues to see playing time and has impressed early in spring training. The Giants counter with their own lineup featuring Will Brennan and other players. The game will be broadcast on Marquee, providing good visibility for Harvey's performance.
