MLB Team Captains - who do you think should be...?

Interesting in the 2018 retirees thread that it was brought out that no current team has a captain.

With that in mind, who do you think should be captains on a team?

Since I have to follow 30 teams (no local or nearby MLB team), my thoughts on 3 teams might be not realistic as I know a lot of things go into a team deciding who should be given the title of captain if a team elects to name one.

For the Dodgers, I think it should be Clayton Kershaw, but it would seem weird considering his job is to put hitters into slumps and probably would have a tougher time giving inspiration to his team's hitters.

Rockies would be tough - Nolan Arenado and Charlie Blackmon stick out as candidates, but I doubt there have ever been two captains on a team.

For the Angels, Mike Trout seems like a slam dunk choice.

Any comments or who you would nominate for your favorite team's captain?

No doubt

Yadi’s been the team captain for over a decade and everyone knows it.

Anthony Rizzo for the Cubs.

Salvador Perez

This!

I know there has only been one captain historically but typically teams have always kind of split into hitters and pitchers with a leader from both groups emerging so I'm going to include one from each.

Not sure I’d make Cano a captain before he’s even played a game with the team...
