On The Horizon: Cubs vs. Tigers series preview
Photo by Bailey Hillesheim/Icon Sportswire via Getty ImagesThis will be the first time the Cubs will see Javier Báez play against them since he was traded away in the Big Selloff of July 2021. Javy is having a terrible year, batting just .223/.266/.326 with 103 strikeouts and that’s even worse over his last 19 games: .194/.275/.242 with 18 strikeouts.
Ashley MacLennan is a writer and associate editor here at BCB, but she also works as an editor for our SB Nation Tigers site Bless You Boys. So I asked Ashley to write up some thoughts about the Tigers.
