Along with the release of the new regular season schedule, the Chicago Cubs also announced the three exhibition games they will play at the end of Summer Camp. Each team is allowed to play a maximum of three exhibition games.
The Cubs will get the White Sox twice and the Twins once:
The Cubs will have three preseason exhibition games:
July 19 vs. White Sox 7:05 pm CT
July 20 at White Sox 7:10 pm CT
July 22 vs. Twins 6:05 pm CT– Jordan Bastian (@MLBastian) July 6, 2020
You can bet the games will air on Marquee, which means there will be a sense of urgency to come to terms with Comcast (and hopefully YouTube TV and DISH, though I’m less optimistic there as everyone has been changing) their strategy in sport).
The games will be a good opportunity for a little more gameplay action other than in-squad play before the regular season begins, but it will obviously be nothing like playing a normal game of Cactus League games. Be competitive in bats against less familiar pitchers, give your arms a chance to work out some more competitive outings, and that’s it.
As you can see, that first exhibition game will arrive in less than two weeks at Wrigley Field. That’s wild
