NEW YORK — Cubs vice president of player development Jared Banner had plenty of sit-downs with prospects this spring. But his meeting with right-hander Matt Swarmer stood out.
“It might have been my longest sit-down in the spring,” Banner said. “We went over everything. He came over to my side of the desk. We looked at his profile and some of his charts and things of that nature. And that just tells me he was really inquisitive about what he needed to do to get better to get to the big leagues.”
