Cubs' Craig Counsell set to face former club, Brewers

Chicago manager Craig Counsell is set to face Milwaukee for the first time since a five-year, reported $40 million deal lured him away from the Brewers in the offseason. Counsell was with Milwaukee from 2015 to 2023, leading the Brewers to five playoff appearances. Brewers fans have had no problem adding Counsell's departure to the long list of reasons to hate the Cubs, but the players haven't shared the same sentiment. "Look, I understand where the fans are coming from," Milwaukee left fielder Christian Yelich said.
