Let me dream about a Cubs duo of Javier Baez and Kolten Wong up the middle.
Prior to the Cubs picking up Anthony Rizzo’s $16.5 million team option for 2021, the St. Louis Cardinals’ decision to go in another direction with infielder Kolten Wong caused some worry among Chicago Cubs fans. Thankfully, the front office and ownership did right by their first baseman and have brought him back into the fold for 2021.
Second base has long been a black hole for Chicago. This year, we saw Jason Kipnis, Nico Hoerner and David Bote all get reps at second – but it’s been a hot minute since you really felt good about that position overall.
