The Chicago Cubs have several players on their current roster who could be seen as the face of a franchise. How they view each will shape the team’s future.

Close your eyes, reach into a hat and grab a name. Between Kris Bryant, David Bote, Anthony Rizzo, Javier Baez, Kyle Hendricks, Kyle Schwarber and Willson Contreras, the Chicago Cubs have plenty of names capable of carrying a franchise.

If choosing just one, the most popular choice would likely come down to either Baez and Bryant, two men who have thrown their name in the National League MVP hunt in recent years.
