If Joe Maddon hoped to carve out a career in the marketing business, he should stick to his day job as manager of the Chicago Cubs.

On the Cubs' first official day of spring training Tuesday, Maddon felt compelled to trot out a new slogan for his team in 2019.

"Own it now," Maddon told reporters. "A big part of our success this year is going to be the fact that we own each moment. And if you take the word 'now' and turn it around, it becomes 'won.'"

To Maddon's credit, he's had successful slogans in the past.
