Cubs' Maddon looking to better reach 'millennials'

LAS VEGAS -- In an effort to connect better with his players after a disappointing finish to last season, 64-year old Chicago Cubs manager Joe Maddon's winter reading this offseason includes a book called 'Managing Millennials for Dummies.'

The made-up sounding title is anything but, as former hitting coach Chili Davis, along with the front office, have intimated there were times when it was difficult to communicate with the team's young players. Maddon wants to change that.

"I'm in the middle of that [book] right now," Maddon said on Day 2 of the winter meetings.
