A former all star with the Thunder Bay Border Cats is hoping for a full time spot on the Chicago Cubs this Spring.

Andy Weber, who was a fifth round pick of the Cubs back in 2018, has played in 12 games in the Cactus League and is hitting .200 with a double and one run batted in through Wednesday.

Weber was named a Northwoods League All-Star with the Border Cats in 2017, where he compiled a .299 batting average over 106 games.

Major League clubs will be pairing down MLB rosters to 26 players this weekend in preparation for Opening Day on Thursday, April 1.
