Chicago Cubs: Javier Baez comments on team’s lack of preparation

Throughout this past offseason and into spring training, we’ve dissected what went wrong with the 2019 Chicago Cubs, as well as what the transition from Joe Maddon to David Ross as manager could do to improve the team’s fortunes in 2020.
