Craig Counsell left the Milwaukee Brewers for the division-rival Chicago Cubs this offseason, eschewing an opportunity to join the New York Mets in doing so.
Counsell, who made his spring training debut as Chicago's skipper on Friday in a game against the crosstown Chicago White Sox, seemingly took a subtle shot at his former team during a dugout interview with Marquee Sports Network.
Counsell made note of the sizable crowd that ventured out to Sloan Park in Mesa, Ariz. for the team’s spring training debut, then subtly noted that it made him aware that he is “in a different place,” in a video shared by Cubs Zone on X (formerly Twitter).
