The Chicago Cubs traded away Javier Baez in 2021. He was one of many players to leave town as a result of the roster rebuild that they began. Now, Baez is with the Detroit Tigers as he signed a big deal with them before the MLB lockout.
Joining him in Detroit now is former Cubs reliever, Andrew Chafin. He was a fan favorite before the Cubs traded him away as well. He became a member of the Oakland A’s via trade but they failed to reach the playoffs after being buyers at the deadline.
