It may be Chicago Cubs manager Joe Maddon‘s last hurrah. Either keep them together for the final month, win at least the Wild Card or possibly the Central–or be on the lookout for another job. This is the hard truth facing the Cubs front office and Maddon. And to be honest? I don’t think the second Wild Card will be good enough.
With roster expansions on September 1, Maddon has Ben Zobrist, Robel Garcia and Daniel Descalso added to his options at second base, and a plethora of bullpen arms to keep from using the same tired arms.
