Around SBN: Win or Lose, Boston Celtics' New Big 3 Era A Success

Oh happy day! The end of an era.....

@CarrieMuskat Carrie Muskat
#Cubs have tendered contracts to arb eligibles Baker, DeWitt, Garza, Soto, Stewart, Wells, but not Hill

Looks like DeWitt will be back as the second infielder off the bench along with Baker.

I've said it before and I'll say it again:

Well.

I won’t miss him, but I hope he lands on his feet.

Who becomes the backup catcher now?

Forget all that other stuff. I gotta believe.

So why are people

getting so worked up over a back-up catcher? It means what, zero games during a season?

It's kind of a meme here.

Just come along for the ride.

In the words of Buddy Holly...

maybe baby. It must be similar to the vilification of Blake DeWitt. I really don’t see where that comes from. He probably would hit as well, if not better than Stewart would if given a full season. His fielding would be less. He doesn’t have the range for a second baseman but might at third. He had starts in the outfield but he never really was an outfielder. Greater minds I guess……

I think the organization finds a role
