As the COVID-19 pandemic continues, Cubs icon Javier Báez and his brother-in-law, Minnesota Twins pitcher José Berríos, are preparing for life after baseball with an investment in a local business.

But the pair aren’t just charitable collaborators, they are also investors in and ambassadors of the restaurant chain, as reported by Yamaira Muñiz Pérez of El Vocero de Puerto Rico (story in Spanish).
