One bar in Wrigleyville, Murphy’s Bleachers, took a jab at Baez’s struggles with a sign that read, “Welcome back, Javy. We sure don’t miss that batting average.” The message was a direct reference to Baez’s inconsistent hitting since leaving the Cubs.

Since joining the Detroit Tigers, Baez has struggled to replicate the success he enjoyed in Chicago. His .185 batting average and .522 OPS this season have drawn criticism from fans and analysts alike.

Despite the negative sentiment from some Cubs fans, Baez’s return to Wrigley Field was undoubtedly a significant moment for many. The 31-year-old played a key role in the Cubs’ 2016 World Series championship and remains a popular figure among fans.
