In any other offseason for the Cubs, acquiring infielder Daniel Descalso would be considered a solid move and fans would view the signing as a positive thing. In reality, it still is a solid move by the Cubs this offseason, but when Descalso is the only player added from a big free agent class that includes Bryce Harper and Manny Machado, then yeah, fans aren’t going to be too thrilled about the move.
What’s one way Descalso can get on the good side of Cubs fans? Take a little jab at the Cardinals!
This isn’t on par with Kris Bryant making all of St. Louis lose their shit over his “St. Louis is boring” comment Friday night at the Cubs Convention, but obviously Descalso was going to say the Cubs. He just signed with the team!
Young fan asks Daniel Descalso which fan convention is better: Cubs or Cardinals?
Descalso didn't even let him finish the question before he said: "This one."

Yadier Molina is very mad.
And now Marcell Ozuna has joined the party, commenting that the Cubs talk like tigers, but end up looking like little cats.
Oh and again, Tony with the important reminder. This all started over KB just having some fun at Ryan Dempster’s comedy show panel thing Friday night.
More fuel to the fire here.
Cardinals clearly do not understand this was on a Dempster late-night comedy show… https://t.co/JTY1fZeKcA

Cubs vs. Cardinals back on all over Kris Bryant obviously joking around at a fan convention and making Cardinals players extremely mad online.
Love it.

Oh and Marcell, I know you’ve only been with the Cardinals for one season, but just a quick reminder.
Since Bryant's call up, the Cubs knocked the Cardinals out of the 2015 NLDS, won the NL Central in 2016/2017 (w/ a WS ring in 2016), and in 2018 finished 6.5 games ahead of STL, who missed the playoffs for the third straight season.
Sounds like you're the little cat, Marcell. https://t.co/Rz26kEhaBJ
