Current Cubs and Dexter Fowler share how they found out they were being called up to majors

12 months agoStaff Report

Miguel Amaya was out buying groceries in Huntsville, Ala. when he got a call from Michael Ryan, the Tennessee Smokies manager. He went to his hotel room and told him he was getting the call.

The one every player dreams of — the call to the major leagues.

“Immediately I jumped to him, I hugged him and immediately called my parents,” Amaya will never forget the moment — and neither will any other current Cub — it’s the call of a lifetime.

During Cubs Pregame Live! Taylor McGregor caught up with a few current Cubs players to find out how they got the news. Then, Dexter Fowler shared his call-up story with Cole Wright and the surreal way he found out.

Check out the video above to see the stories.
