Javy Baez among 3 Cubs named as finalists for NL Gold Glove Awards

We're about to settle the debate of who's the better fielder between Javy Baez and Kolten Wong...at least at second base.

Both players were named finalists along with Colorado's D.J. LeMahieu for the 2018 National League Gold Glove Award at second base.

Anthony Rizzo is also a finalist at first base, alongside Cincinnati's Joey Votto and Atlanta's Freddie Freeman.

St. Louis' Wong was very outspoken earlier this season in the belief he should win the coveted fielding award. He led baseball with 19 Defensive Runs Saved at second base in only 896.2 innings. LeMahieu was second at 18 DRS in 1,115 innings.
