MESA, Ariz. – Outfielder Michael Conforto, now in spring training camp with the Cubs on a minor-league deal, had a tumultuous experience watching the Dodgers’ World Series run last year while left off the postseason roster.
“Super bittersweet, super conflicting feeling, honestly,” he said this week. “Felt like I didn’t earn [the World Series title] in a way. But still proud of that group of guys, proud of my ability to continue to be a good teammate and still uplift guys, show up in less ways than I wanted to – but I do still feel like I was a big part of it.
