Chicago Cubs manager Joe Maddon was interviewed by MLB Network for their segment '30 Clubs in 30 Days' on Saturday and explained the team's new 2019 motto 'Own it now'.

"Owning it now talking about present tense accountability and you turn the word now around and you get one," Maddon said during the interview. "They are all really important words to remember. The other one coming out very soon 'level five' and it will be pretty popular."
