Chicago Cubs Change Up the Plan Again For Slugging Utility Player

As position players get set to report to spring training, Chicago Cubs' slugger Christopher Morel has yet another new plan.

After being told at the outset of the offseason that he was going to focus on first base, Morel is now going to work at third base in an effort to get a consistent position.

The Cubs desperately want to get Morel's bat in the lineup but after acquiring Michael Busch this offseason, they don't need him at first base as often, so that's why they are pushing him to third.

Per Maddie Lee of the Chicago Sun-Times:

Craig Counsell said he'd like to see Christopher Morel at third base to start camp. "Christopher's done so much with the bat, that it's our job to figure out the best way to deploy it." He left open the possibility of that changing but wants to give Morel consistency at the onset
