Relief pitcher Mark Leiter Jr. drops by the Cubs Weekly Podcast to chat with Elise Menaker and Tony Andracki during Spring Training.
Leiter explains his initial impressions of new manager Craig Counsell, what he learned during his first full season as a big-league reliever and gets into his family history and how growing up as the son and nephew of big-league pitchers sealed his fate.
Later, Menaker and Andracki analyze the Cubs' 40-man roster conundrum that features several intriguing non-roster players in camp. Plus, how some of the changes Counsell has made are paying dividends and the one player that has impressed the most in camp.
