Chicago Cubs: Team has no issues with Javier Baez playing in WBC
Chicago Cubs utility man Javier Baez will be joining Team Puerto Rico in a few days’ time, ready to represent his nation at the World Baseball Classic.
Coming off a World Series championship, it might not surprise anyone if the Chicago Cubs wanted their players focused on defending their title, instead of taking part in the World Baseball Classic.
That’s not the case, however, for Joe Maddon and the Cubs’ front office. Chicago has a pair of notable players taking part in the WBC in Javier Baez and Hector Rondon.
