Chicago Cubs: Should the Cubs hold off on bringing back Schwarber?
The Chicago Cubs are preparing to take on the Cleveland Indians in the 2016 World Series. Which means Joe Maddon may end up making several roster moves in order to help the team. They currently carry three catchers.
At the beginning of the year, as soon as Spring Training wrapped, Chicago Cubs’ skipper Joe Maddon made a bold decision. He opted to keep three catchers on the big league roster. Those names included Miguel Montero, David Ross, and Kyle Schwarber.
Schwarber emerged as a strong candidate to take over the plate once David Ross and Miguel Montero were gone. Despite being capable of playing in the outfield as well, having him as a catcher came in handy.
