FILE - In this April 10, 2016, file photo, then-Kansas City Royals relief pitcher Wade Davis throws during a baseball game against the Minnesota Twins at Kauffman Stadium in Kansas City, Mo. Wade Davis was a promising starting pitcher when he made his major league debut for Joe Maddon and the Tampa Bay Rays almost eight years ago. Then he was a reliever, and then a starter again and then a reliever. Now he gets the ball from Maddon once again _ only this time as the closer for the Chicago Cubs. (AP Photo/Orlin Wagner, File)

FILE - In this Oct. 27, 2016 file photo, Chicago Cubs manager Joe Maddon answers a question during a news conference before Game 3 of the Major League Baseball World Series against the Cleveland Indians in Chicago. Maddon has kept it positive for his team amid all the pressure attached to a World Series championship drought that stands at 108 years. His quirky sayings and efforts to keep things loose are admired by managers and business experts. Northwestern's business school is even teaching some of his techniques as a "value-based leader."(AP Photo/Nam Y. Huh, File)

On the morning after the Cubs clinched a playoff spot, few members of the team with the best record in baseball had wandered back into the clubhouse ahead of an afternoon start still three hours away.
