Anyone have any information on what happened with Pat Listach?
I cannot find any.

what a joke. The only guy who has less impact than the third base coach on a team winning or losing is maybe the bullpen catcher – and after a 100 loss season this is the first guy to get the axe? Look in the mirror, Theo.

If you think he was fired because of his contributions to the team’s record, I have some nice ocean-front property in Indiana you might be interested in.
Theo is slowly bringing in “his guys” to make this organization better. As for the 100-loss season, I like it. I wish it had been more (so we could pick 1st overall). The long-term plan is to stockpile top talent in the minors to build a consistent winner in the MLB. I’m not saying Theo and Hoyer purposely set out to lose 100 games, but I’m also sure they did not expect to win more than 70. It sucks right now, but quite frankly, losing is the best medicine if we want a permanent cure and not a band-aid.

I’m sorry – nobody “likes” triple digit loss seasons. Not fans, players, managers, nor GMs. Getting a top pick is consolation for being terrible, and nobody starts the season with that “goal” in mind.

Believe what you will and I never once said it was their goal, just that they would not be upset if it happened. An 80-win season would have hurt us a lot more than this 100-loss season did.

Hey, whatever you Cubs fans have to tell yourselves in order to rationalize feeling good about a 100 loss season is fine by me – I’m sure Epstein is still disappointed by the play on the field.
crashcameron
yeah, blame Epstein for any/all Hendry/Tribune moves
Shel K
you’re right, I’m sorry. That Hendry, what a buffoon – only put together 3 playoff teams in 6 years, one near miss the next year, 5 outs away from the world series. Remind me again, when was the last time that happened in chicago since, like, 1908? Hendry should never have traded away Colvin for a bag of magic beans, and I don’t know what Hendry saw in Chris Volstad. And the starting pitchers Hendry dug out of the scrap heap were nowhere near as good as the ones King Theo found.

The outfielder is set to be a free agent for the first time following the 2014 campaign?
