A manager can only do so much but they lost 89 games this season and it's nearly a foregone conclusion that will improve next season. They're going to spend some money on starting pitching (Lester maybe or Shields possibly), and they won't be trading away productive players at the trade deadline like they have the past few seasons. A lot of prospect talent to work with and a lot of it is hitting the big league club now. Not all will pan out, but they have a ton of highly-regarded bats coming so they'll hit on a few. Rizzo looks legit and they still have Castro. They're going to be decent pretty much immediately, with a chance to build on that the next few years. I'll take a guy like Maddon steering that ship.Maddon is a good manager but unless I'm mistake, he can't hit or pitch.
I predict more 90-loss seasons in your future.
I expected him to come in but I didnt expect him to go that long. Geez.MadBum. Like a boss.
It's ridiculous.Not a huge baseball fan, but like Giants because it annoys Dodgers fan. Is a 0.26 era any good?
Dude is a beast.MadBum. Like a boss.
Dislike.Reading where Magadan is likely staying as Rangers hitting coach. Also working on a new contract for Mike Maddox.
Cubs are sitting pretty right now. One of the best managers, if not the best, in baseball aboard along with all the young prospects. Now throw some cash at One of the big FA starters this offseason and they are on their way.Rick Renteria fired by the Cubs. Shitty for him that he didn't really deserve to lose his job after one season, but he gets paid for two more years so I don't feel bad for him.
Maddon hiring should be announced soon.
Or just trade some of those prospects for Cobb. Maddon needs his guys and all.Cubs are sitting pretty right now.

It was just announced that the Twins have just offered Maddon a contract, and he's seriously considering it.Rick Renteria fired by the Cubs. Shitty for him that he didn't really deserve to lose his job after one season, but he gets paid for two more years so I don't feel bad for him.

I was thinking it would be hilarious…well, not to Cubs fans, but…if after all of this Maddon talk and the firing of Renteria that the Cubs announce a press conference. Theo Epstein steps up the podium and says that he's pleased to announce the new manager of the Chicago Cubs…Ron Washington, ladies and gentlemen!
I wouldn't wish that on the cubs. The Rays? Sure but not the cubs.
