CLEVELAND – Joe Maddon’s social-media policy can be summed up in less than 140 characters: “Just don’t get caught.”
The Cubs manager has an anti-rules philosophy, more than 236,000 followers on Twitter and a laissez-faire attitude in the clubhouse.
Maddon hadn’t heard about the Pablo Sandoval Instagram incident until a reporter explained it to him during Thursday’s pregame media session at Progressive Field. As an ideas guy, he sounded interested in the story.

The Boston Red Sox benched Sandoval for “liking” an attractive woman’s pictures during Wednesday’s 5-2 loss to the Atlanta Braves at Turner Field.
