Curtis Granderson has been in the big leagues for 13 years. Alberto Almora Jr. hasn’t even been in “The Show” for 13 weeks, but he arrived from the minors with incredibly high expectations. Cubs leadership expect he’ll be one of the core members of this team competing for championships for years to come. 

WBEZ sports contributor Cheryl Raye-Stout talked with Almora about everything from the fact that he’ll soon be a first-time father to the long process of getting to the majors after being drafted right out of high school.
