It was like seeing a ghost saunter onto the field Thursday morning.The Chicago Cubs looked up, saw former teammate Dexter Fowler, and suddenly realized he wasn’t wearing a Baltimore Orioles’ uniform.Fowler, who was supposed to be on his way to Sarasota, Fla. to take his physical with the Orioles, instead was at the Cubs’ spring-training complex in Mesa, Ariz., telling the Cubs’ players he was back.Turns out he never left.
Just two days ago, after Fowler was widely reported to have accepted a three-year, $33 million deal with the Orioles, Cubs first baseman Anthony Rizzo sent a text:'Good luck, I'm going to miss you, my man.’“You're sitting there,’’ Fowler told reporters, “and you're like, “I can't wait to surprise you.'"How about shock?Bob Nightengale, USA TODAY Sports
