The Daily Belli watch: 8 days to the Cubs Spring Training opener

Pitchers and catchers had their official report date to Cubs Spring Training Wednesday and President of Baseball Operations Jed Hoyer held a news conference.

He had things to say about Cody Bellinger.

‘‘There’s a lot of good free agents out there,’’ Hoyer said. ‘‘Certainly, it’s been a really late-evolving offseason. And so every day we’re in contact with different free agents. And we may well add one or more players to the roster. But at this point, as we sit down and think about it . . . it is Day 1 of spring training, and we’re trying to focus on the guys who are here.
