I say we bet as to how hilarious this statement looks about 3 hours from now when you're drinking yourself blind and frothing at the mouth because a Diamondback hits a single passed a diving Rizzo.

Maddon didn't rule out the possibility of Kyle Schwarber joining the Cubs at some point this season. strong impression in spring training
