Long a member of the Miami Marlins front office, Andre Dawson wasn’t exactly welcomed back with open arms when the new ownership group took over down there.
After a bumbled sort of firing, then a bumbled sort of offer to return, Dawson is moving on – and back to a familiar organization:
The Miami #Marlins loss is the Chicago #Cubs gain as #HOF Andre Dawson, one of classiest men in #MLB, about to officially rejoin organization

We’ll see what role the organization has planned for Dawson upon his return, but I’d imagine having his mind and experience back will be excitedly welcomed (including by the fans, who loved his six-year run with the Cubs, including the 1987 MVP).
