Hell, even the non-story about the Cubs not trading Kris Bryant or even intending to do so created bigger waves. And yet I can&#8217;t help but find it strange that [&#8230;]]]></description>

The Baltimore Orioles are in a really good spot. The team&#8217;s superstar shortstop has crushed the baseball over the first two months of the season and is the hottest [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One of the nice things about rooting for a team with as checkered a history as the Cubs possess is that it gives us a never-ending series of metaphors to describe the baseball winter of 2017-18. For instance&#8230; This slothful offseason has been like watching Hector Villanueva leg out a triple. The hot stove has [&#8230;]]]></description>

It&#8217;s all that most want to think about, and, really, after years of thinking about the future, it absolutely makes sense to enjoy the present. Front offices don&#8217;t have that luxury, though. And if there&#8217;s one thing we&#8217;ve learned about the Cubs&#8217; brain trust over the past several years, it [&#8230;]]]></description>
