SB Nation Reacts survey: Who’ll be backing up the Cubs outfield?

Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across MLB. Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in Cubs fans and fans across the country. Sign up here to participate in the weekly emailed surveys.


The Cubs have several potential backup outfielders in camp.

Dylan Carlson had a great rookie year with the Cardinals, then injuries have ruined the rest of his career. He’s only 27 and is a switch-hitter.

Michael Conforto was the Mets’ No. 1 pick in 2014, chosen six spots after the Cubs took Kyle Schwarber. He had some good years with the Mets, but last year with the Dodgers was pretty much a disaster for him.

Chas McCormick has also had good years, with the Astros, but they chose to let him go after 2025. He might be the only one of the trio who could play a good center field.

With the injury to Tyler Austin, it seems likely that two of these three players will make the Opening Day roster. Which two do you think will make it? Or will it not be two of them?

Respond to the survey and I’ll post the results later this week.
