I've been reading a good 5 teams or so will make offers but the Cubs will be the leaders if they decide to make a move. Would be great for them, but I would think he'd want to go to a team with money and a willingness to spend it.Rumors are swirling that the Cubs will be the landing spot for Maddon. I'm crossing my fingers but not holding my breath. Just assuming Mattingly will get the axe in LA and that Maddon will rejoin Friedman.
Guys like Ken Rosenthal are putting the Cubs thing out there though, so maybe they know something. That would be outstanding. They'd have to pay Rick Renteria a chunk of change to go away, but for a guy like Maddon I think they would.
They have money and a willingness to spend it. They just haven't been spending much recently because they've been rebuilding the roster and shedding payroll rather than adding it, plus sinking money into Wrigley Field, etc. Their payroll is in great shape because of the high amount of cost-controlled players they have over the next several seasons. Combine that with the the talent they have put together and I think it's an ideal situation for any manager. The Mets would be another team I think would be appealing to Maddon or any other high-profile manager looking for a job.I've been reading a good 5 teams or so will make offers but the Cubs will be the leaders if they decide to make a move.

It's obvious tampering. Give us Almora to make up for it.Sounds like this was a done deal already. There will be cries of tampering. Let them cry. Seriously doubt they can prove anything.

That was Belt. Either way, I don't think they had a play. Ball was going to dribble to the plate.Hudson should have let that ball go to the plate. I think he cost his team a run as the throw likely beats the runner.
