The Chicago Cubs will have three players represent them at the 2018 MLB All-Star Game in Washington D.C., as Willson Contreras and Javier Baez were voted in as starters and Jon Lester was selected to the pitching staff. Yet, there’s one more thing that should happen if MLB really cares about entertaining its fans.
And let’s be honest here, all-star week is simply about entertainment. The result of the game doesn’t matter and I mean, the best players aren’t being voted in anyway. Regardless, one of the biggest draws from the festivities is the home run derby.
The participants haven’t been named yet, but let’s be real here, it would be a crime if Baez wasn’t invited to compete.
As for Baez, would he do it? Hell yeah he would.

Do you want to compete in the Home Run Derby?#Cubs' Javier Baez: "If I got the opportunity, I would probably do it because it's my first All-Star Game. We'll see. We'll see. I haven't heard anything about it, but sure, I'd love to."

Get it done, MLB!
And for Cubs fans worried about Baez messing up his swing or something because he’s in the derby, I have one question for you, have you ever watched Javier Baez play?
Javy is always looking to hit a bomb somewhere.
No need to worry that his swing will get messed up.
Need Javy swinging for the moon down in D.C. in the home run derby. It’s a no-brainer for MLB.
