NEW YORK – In the Angel Stadium visiting clubhouse last month, Cubs shortstop Dansby Swanson and first baseman Trey Mancini were engrossed in conversation at their neighboring lockers. Swanson stood and mimed Mancini’s batting stance, exaggerating his hip hinge through contact.
“He was asking me, whenever you’re going really well, what are you thinking?” Mancini said. “What’s your body doing? That sort of thing.”
