Joe Maddon returned to Sloan Park Monday to face the Cubs and reconnect with some of his former players for the first time since the end of last season. It looks a little weird seeing him in red, but it’s also fitting that both he and the Cubs were able to move on in relatively amicable fashion. That wasn’t the only reunion, though, as the matchup gave ESPN’s Jesse Rogers the chance to pal around with Tommy La Stella.

Introspection and public admission of fault aren’t character traits Maddon readily displays publicly, so it came as a bit of a surprise when he opened up to the Chicago media about his biggest regret from his Cubs tenure.
