Joe Maddon won't be back as the Cubs' manager. It's shocking that the team wouldn't value the man who led them to their first championship in 108 years but the team's announcement seemed anti-climatic after Maddon's lame duck season. David Ross is considered the frontrunner to replace Maddon.

"We're both going to move on," Maddon said on Sunday in St. Louis."Hopefully, the Cubs are going to flourish. Hopefully, I get a chance to do this someplace else. But there's no tears shed. It's a good moment for everybody. And we're both excited about our futures.” ESPN broadcaster David Ross, a cult hero who homered in Game 7 of the 2016 World Series, is the leading candidate to replace Maddon. He expressed interest in the job during the Sunday Night Baseball telecast.
Terry Francona, who managed the Red Sox when he and Epstein broke the so-called Curse of the Bambino in 2004, could surface in speculation but it seems unlikely he’d leave Cleveland. He signed an extension with the Indians in April, guaranteeing a club option for the 2020 season and adding club options for 2021 and ’22.
