Javy Baez will take a leave of absence from the Iowa Cubs because of the death of his sister, Noely Baez. The two were reportedly very close. Rotoworld says she passed away suddenly at 21.

Shit man, that sucks.

This is so sad. Here's a bit more about her:

http://m.cubs.mlb.com/news/article/66112700/

12 days since his sister died and the I-Cubs still haven't heard from him at all.

All we know is that the manager told the newspaper that he hasn't heard anything from him. Someone in the Cubs organization probably knows what's going on and they're probably respecting his privacy. Don't over-Rosenbloom this.

Yeah no shit. I read the article and Pen sensationalized the shit out of that. You'd think he was off crying shirtless in a club somewhere like Vince Young the way Pen phrased it.

In Pen's defense, he did say the Iowa Cubs haven't heard from him yet...

I listened to Murph for about 15 minutes on Saturday, which was more than any human should be able to take, and he was being an asswipe about Baez not being back yet. So anyone that questions Javy's absence is as bad as Mike Murphy.

I did the same. And heard the exact same segment. Then I put on WMET and it turned out to be country. #Winning

Jesus Christ, someone is actually bitching about a guy having the gall to not rush back from the death of his 21 year old sister to play baseball games in fucking Iowa? I hate people. I'll give Pen credit, he wasn't doing that.

Referring to Mike Murphy as "someone" is probably giving him too much credit though.

He was saying that nobody affiliated with the Iowa Cubs has heard from Baez because their manager told the newspaper he didn't know anything, which may or may not be true. What if he's lying? What if he just got done Facetiming with Baez and slammed his laptop shut right before the reporter walked in?

"I was told he's getting close. From our perspective we want him to take as much time as he felt necessary. I've heard there's rumblings of him coming back relatively soon. The kid was crushed by the moment, man. We all grieve in different manners. I'm not one in any way, shape or form to say, `Listen, it's about time; the grieving time is over.' ... We just respect that process and then when he comes back we'll welcome him back openly."

Now that Kris Bryant is our full time centerfielder in the wake of the premature death of Dexter Fowler maybe Javy can learn 3rd base and come up that way.

This is mostly a joke. But I don't know.

Do this and then move Almora to SS because why not.
