When there was talk in the offseason about how to fix the Chicago Cubs in 2019, Mark Zagunis wasn't mentioned. There was talk the team was going to try and improve through trades but there weren't many trades coming. It's possible the minor league outfielder could be kind of a trade that the team doesn't have to send any players away.

Mark Zagunis-Cubs

The outfielder has been seeing plenty of action this spring and it's paid off. He hit his third homer of the season on Friday and went 1-for-2 with a double and an RBI in Saturday's loss to Milwaukee. He's hitting .400 on the season.

Albert Almora-Cubs

Almora is another Chicago Cubs outfielder having a good spring. In the 7-4 loss, Almora delivered an RBI and is also hitting .400 this early part of the spring.

Albert Almora Jr. punches a grounder through the right side for an RBI single with two down in the fifth and the Cubs have their second run against Davies. #Brewers are tied 2-2.

Travis Shaw-Brewers

Speaking of having a good spring. Travis Shaw went 2-for-3 with a homer and two RBIs. He's hitting .600 so far this preseason and looks like he could be a big contributor for Milwaukee this season.

Travis Shaw, whose goal is to fare better vs. LHPs this season after struggling vs. them in 2018, blasts a two-run HR off Jon Lester in first inning after single by Yelich.

Christian Yelich-Brewers

Yelich has been a thorn in the Chicago Cubs side since coming to Milwaukee. He was again on Saturday when he went 2-for-3 and is hitting .667 this spring so far.

Trent Giambrone-Cubs

Giambrone isn't going to be making the team out of camp. He's still having a nice spring, including his second homer on Saturday. He's posted a .467 batting average so far.
