Trio of champs reunited in Kansas City

With no baseball to cover the next couple days, we decided to bring you updates on some former Chicago Cubs players in our ‘Where are they now?” feature. Periodically, throughout the year, we will bring you updates on these names, and their whereabouts these days.

Whether they are still active, or non-active, all of these guys have some place in Cubs lore. So, without further ado, here is the first installment.

Cubs fans tend to always cheer for former players, for the most part, of course, there are a few exceptions, Milton Bradley (see above) and Ryan Theriot, namely (man, he’s got a big mouth). But, regardless, Cubs fans really take to the mantra of “Once a Cub, always a Cub.” These three guys will always be Cubs, whether their time in Chicago was good or not.

We’ll open this installment with three members of last year’s World Championship team – all of whom are now members of the Kansas City Royals organization.
