Baez to the DL
The news just never seems to go well for Javier Baez. After a particularly rough 2015 which saw Baez on the disabled list and was capped off with the tragic death of his sister, it now appears Baez will take a step back in his development with the Cubs.
For Baez, 23, 2016 was a make it or break it year. The focus over the last two seasons has been on cutting down the strikeouts while making him into a more versatile player defensively. The additions of Ben Zobrist and the fact that manager Joe Maddon likes the bat of Tommy La Stella, Baez has had to reinvent his game.
