For reliever Adam Morgan, the journey from arm surgery to the Chicago Cubs has brought him some clarity: ‘My whole career has been kind of like, hey, surprise yourself, see what you can do’

“Each day, I’m very thankful to be here, that’s how I’m going about this,” Morgan said. “I don’t think that I deserve anything. I don’t think that this game gives you anything, that’s for sure. If I were to retire, there wasn’t going to be a moment of silence, there wasn’t going to be a retiring of my number — the game doesn’t owe you anything. But for me, you want to respect the game, do the right things and see how far you can go.”
