* It was understandable that the affably voluble Joe Maddon wasn’t about to say much, however nuanced or parsed, about his Rays-to-Cubs morph until his Cubby Bear bar press conference on Monday. Some sensitive issues–possible tampering and the Cubs paving the way with a firing–warranted no less. Still, it was weird to see his incommunicado interval include that twitter handle change: @RaysJoeMaddon became @Maddonini with a generic photo as avatar. That was the family name that Maddon’s father, plumber Joe Maddonini, Americanized years ago.
