Chicago Cubs: Remember how the Home Run Derby ruined Javier Baez?

I remember when we all learned Chicago Cubs Javier Baez and Kyle Schwarber would participate in the Home Run Derby. At the office, I heard at least two people comments something to the effect of, “Great, there goes their swings.”

Mmmhmm. Okay.

Schwarber, admittedly, hasn’t been great since the All-Star Break. He’s hitting just .222 with a .306 on-base percentage. That’s not what the Cubs need – especially with Kris Bryant still sidelined with an ailing shoulder. But Baez. What can we say about El Mago that hasn’t already been said.

Gold Glove defender.
