Manager David Ross disagreed with what catcher Willson Contreras said Saturday night about the Cubs’ effort. He also didn’t think Contreras should’ve shared those thoughts with reporters.
Addressing the media after Sunday’s Cubs-Cardinals game was postponed due to inclement weather and rescheduled as part of a Sept. 24 split doubleheader, Ross discussed Contreras’ comments. For the first time in his career, Contreras could be on a losing team, which might be made worse by a possible sell-off.
But Ross said Contreras’ sentiments need to stay in-house, and that good will come out of the lesson the Cubs catcher has learned.
