Chicago Cubs: Time for Javier Baez to make a quantum leap

Javier Baez has been the ultimate spark plug for the Chicago Cubs this season. His infectious energy and aggressiveness helped keep the team afloat amidst a swarm of injuries to the likes of Kris Bryant and Anthony Rizzo. But with the division on the line in the final weeks of the season, Baez has an opportunity to put a stamp on his MVP campaign.

The Cubs have one more series against each of their divisional foes, a trip to the West Coast to take on the Diamondbacks and a crosstown showdown with the White Sox left on the docket.
