Lukewarm Stove: Cliff Lee Likely Out of Cubs’ Price Range
Cliff Lee looked – as he often does – mighty awesome last night, mowing down the New York Yankees in the ALCS. If his impending free agent price tag could possibly have gone higher, it would have. But as it stands, it’s already sufficiently high that Chicago Cubs fans should probably allow visions of a [...]
Obsessive New Manager Watch: Toronto Blue Jays Expected to Interview Ryne Sandberg
A primary reason that the Chicago Cubs have been able to delay their managerial decision is because the two most likely candidates – interim manager Mike Quade and AAA Iowa manager Ryne Sandberg – aren’t drawing interest from any of the other clubs with managerial vacancies. That, of course, is subject to change, particularly as [...]
Obsessive New Manager Watch: Source Indicates Decision Could Be Made This Week
Looks like the Chicago Cubs could soon have their new manager in tow. The naming of the Cubs new manager could come as early as next week, according to a major-league source. Major League Baseball does not allow teams to make major announcements during the World Series, which is set to start on October 28. [...]
Obsessive New Manager Watch: Cubs Continue to Wait for Joe Girardi – Probably
The Chicago Cubs are down to the finalists for their managerial opening – interim manager Mike Quade, AAA Iowa manager Ryne Sandberg, and former Cleveland Indians manager Eric Wedge (the tea leaves indicate that, because Bob Melvin has yet to meet with Tom Ricketts, he’s probably not a finalist). And all of the finalists have [...]
Obsessive New Manager Watch: Insiders Say Joe Girardi is Not Coming to Chicago
His New York Yankees are up 2-0 over the Twins in the ALDS, but there remains uncertainty whether manager Joe Girardi, who is in the final year of his contract, will return to the Yankees next year. But even if he departs, it’s looking increasingly unlikely that he’ll be coming to manage the Chicago Cubs. [...]
Whither Bob Brenly?
Shortly after taking himself out of consideration for the Chicago Cubs’ managerial opening (because, paraphrasing his words, the Cubs are certain to suck for the foreseeable future), rumors are popping up that Cubs color broadcaster Bob Brenly is going to land the Milwaukee Brewers’ recently-vacated job. But those rumors were quickly shot down by Brewers’ [...]
Will the Chicago Cubs Look to Bring Back Kerry Wood?
It is not a secret that the 2010 Chicago Cubs’ bullpen blew. Injuries, underperformance and inexperience conspired to torpedo the pen for long stretches during the season. So the fact that the team will look at some veteran reliever options this Winter should also not be a secret. But one of those reliever options might [...]
Obsessive New Manager Watch: Chicago Cubs Do Plan to Interview Joe Girardi
Looks like my tea leaf reading was correct. Despite announcing a desire to have their managerial decision made sooner rather than later, the Chicago Cubs are expected to wait out the Yankees’ season so that they can “at least try” to bring in skipper Joe Girardi for an interview, according to Buster Olney. The Cubs are [...]
