Welcome to our final Cubs mailbag of 2018!
A heartfelt thank you to everybody who read, watched or listened to any of NBC Sports Chicago's Cubs content this year and we hope you all have a fantastic and joyous holiday season.
Now, onto the questions about Javy Baez, Bryce Harper, Addison Russell, Daniel Descalso, future trades and more:
What is the plan with Javy start at second or SS? — hola (@buck3y31)
Mr. Mago will start at shortstop for the Cubs in 2019. There is no question about that with Russell suspended for the first 28 games of the season and his future beyond that very much in doubt.
