Staff report
David Kaplan of the Tribune and WGN is reporting that the Cubs intend to keep their spring-training facilities in Mesa, Ariz., pending a vote by the Mesa city council Monday night to approve a financial package to improve the team's Cactus League facilities.
The Cubs had been courted by Naples, Fla., to move to the Grapefruit League.
More to come.

Bravo to the City of Mesa, Mayor Scott Smith, and all members of the city council who dedicated their time and effort toward achieving this happy outcome. There is nothing like kicking back in the brilliant sunshine as the sights & sounds of Cub's baseball fill your senses. One trip and I promise you will be hooked for a lifetime.
I can't wait to see the new stadium!!!
Good luck Cubs!
Naples had a blast competing for this.
