Cubs Launch Managerial Interviews

By Jeff Todd | October 8, 2019 at 7:08pm CDT

Oct. 8: Girardi will interview tomorrow, Gonzales further reports, with Ross slated to interview later in the week. Venable, meanwhile, interviewed for the position yesterday.

Oct. 4: The Cubs have begun formal interviews as they seek to identify their next manager, the team informed reporters including Mark Gonzales of the Chicago Tribune (via Twitter). First-round interviews will carry into next week, at least.

First up for a chat was Mark Loretta, who served as the club’s bench coach under departing skipper Joe Maddon. Loretta had his interview yesterday. As previously reported, first base coach Will Venable will also get a chance to petition for the job. He’s slated for a sit-down next week.

Another previously reported candidate for the position, David Ross, will also get his first formal managerial interview next week. The veteran backstop-turned-analyst has long been speculated as a candidate.

Ross is not far removed from being an in-uniform veteran presence, but has never held a coaching or managing position. Loretta and Venable each have coaching experience, but neither has ever managed.

Perhaps unsurprisingly, the Cubs will also look at more experienced candidates. President of baseball operations Theo Epstein has said he’d “have a greater comfort for someone handling the role before.”

Joe Girardi is about as experienced as any managerial candidate, having helmed the Marlins for one season before a decade-long stint with the Yankees. He’s also slated to chat with Epstein and company next week.

Indication has been that the Cubs will look far and wide for candidates. If so, it would stand to reason that other names will still pop up for first-round interviews. The existing slate, after all, isn’t exactly an exotic group in terms of background. Two are former Chicago catchers while the others were in Cubs uniforms in the just-completed campaign.

          Mixed results! Ryno was terrible in Philly. His rhetoric couldn’t inspire a horse to drink water even if you brought the water to the horse instead of the other way around.

          Cubs have bigger problems than who ends up the manager. They have 3 1/2 reliable hitters (Bryant, Baez, Rizzo and Contreras). I don’t like any of their outfielders who, as a group, I would rate a Gentleman’s C. Not good enough for the Dean’s List but decent enough to stay in school.

          Starting pitching? With no sure fire starters at AAA, to replace Hamels, they have to rely on a digressing Lester and Quintana; a solid guy in Hendricks and the iffy Darvish because with Darvish, you just don’t know what you’re going to get from year to year.

          One key to success in 2020 will be Hoerner. One less hole to fill if he can be the everyday 2B or SS. If Castellanos returns, make that two fewer holes to fill.

          Theo ought to open up the checkbook and go after Gerret Cole or Rendon. If it’s Rendon, play Bryant in LF and trade Schwarber for a #3 or #4 starting pitcher (Zach Eflin-Phillies?). He’s an AL DH, anyway.

          Some good commentary here but a reminder: Only Tom Ricketts “can open up the checkbook” for the free agents you suggest.

          Btw: If the Cubs sign Anthony Rendon they should trade Kris Bryant. The latter ought to bring back a TOR pitcher which could make pursuing Gerrit Cole unnecessary. Cole will likely sign with the Angels anyway since they are a 20-minute drive from his home in Newport Beach, California. If not the Angels, the Dodgers or Padres would be more than willing to make Cole a rich man.

          That would be David Ross. If you read his book “Teammate,” Ross was known by fellow Cub players to offer a lot of encouragement and praise but if a player made an error or didn’t look like he was giving it his all in a game, Ross addressed it in the dugout in front of everyone by confronting that player. The dugout would get quiet when he did but it was out of respect and a recognition that it was deserved. Once Ross was gone, ther was a void because no one filled that role. As a result, players got complacent. As Epstein discussed in his final press conference, stats in areas like errors , base running, and inability to advance refract their sloppy play . Ross will expect 100% from all of them every day and run a tighter ship,

    This will be a significant hire for the cubs. If they hire Ross or someone from within the organization who knows the players, it means they’re keeping most of the roster intact. If they hire an experienced manager, it means they’re planning major changes the next few offseasons, incrementally do as not to upset the fanbase. My personal choice would be Girardi.

        Epstein said he values an experienced manager, so it’s doubtful he hires someone who hasn’t managed at the big league level. He would hire someone connected to the team/organization, like Ross, if the plan was to keep the roster intact for another year or two. I still think Ross is a longshot. Girardi is the guy, which means major roster changes to cone.

          I would think Girardi would command a fairly steep salary. With all the talk of ownership tightening payroll, do you think that they could afford him or be willing to actually pay a fair salary to someone like him?

    This is an interesting search. There are multiple facets to management, notably ability to connect to players, create a constructive working environment, and implementing in game strategy.

    With front offices so involved in the latter, I wonder if a former player who can handle the first two with a bench coach/advisor who can work with the numbers people emerges here. Or around MLB in general.

    I definitely think it is a two person job nowadays.

    So yes I am a Cardinals fan (take all the shots you want) but was Maddon really the issue for the baby bears? Inflated payroll, bad contracts and poor upper management had nothing to do with their demise after winning the lone world series ring they posses in the time span it took for the great depression all the way to Trump being president???? Im just saying, if baseball has taught us anything, you cant buy your way to a WS ring no matter how much they cost…..

        wordonthestreet and Cardsfan77… The Cubs were the worst team in baseball in making outs while on base and made the 2nd most errors as well. That gentleman, is fundamentals and squarely on the shoulders of Madden. He also repeatedly pulled starters too early in games only to turn it over to a chronically shaky bullpen. Yes, the players have to play, but you guys are giving him way too easy a pass.

      Um, Bryant, Baez, Contreras, Schwarber, Howrner, Almora…picked by the team. Rizzo, Hendricks, Addison, Strop—minor league talent developed from trades. Yes, they signed some players in FA to fortify the team and try for repeats—but they did not “buy” a World Series, nor were they only trying to buy one. The team is still very good based on the talent they drafted and promoted from minors.

      Maddon lost the ability to get more out of his team, plain and simple. The last two years were filled with Bryzzo and Lester making excuses for the team needing not to panic because seasons are long. They need a manager who demand s the talent play every game with a sense of urgency through hustle. The year they won the WS they were hungry—every hit was celebrated as a team with dugout acknowledgments. That team ran the bases hard and played defense better. They came back in so many games because they didn’t want to lose. I put their motivation on the manager.

      Lester is aging and should not open the season as starter. Quintana needs to be traded—he was a wasted trade Theo should not have made.

      Ross seems like the only one who isn’t tainted by the complacencies and who may revive the spark from years ago.

    Would Tony LaRussa ever consider getting back in the dugout? Or is he a front office guy the rest of the way? Seems to me that he excelled as a manager (3x WS champ and 4x manager of the year) yet has struggled somewhat in the front office having been demoted in Arizona before resigning and bouncing over Boston. He would definitely intrigue me even though my heart is with David Ross.

    Maybe it’s time for Theo to look in the mirror for the problem? He depleted the Cubs farm system of their top prospects. Toress to the Yankees for 2 months of Chapman and then let him go. Signs a broken down closer for $50 mil. Trades a budding superstar in Eloy Jiminez and a potential front line pitcher for mediocre Quintana whi couldn’t get past 3 innings his last 5 starts. Blew up payroll by grossly overpaying Jason Hayward who is untradable.. Now he’s 27th ranked farm system in MLB. No prospects to trade..

    When did Will Venable retire? I didn’t know he was a coach. I thought he was probably off trying out for a team in Japan or Korea

    Jody Davis. with Davey Lopes as his bench coach. Maybe bring in Steve Trout for pitching coach – all coaches will be cubbie alum.. Andre Dawson as hitting coach and bring in Ryan Theriot and keith moreland for the 2 base coaches.

      Screw Theriot. He is a Cardinal not a Cub. Remember what he said about the Cubs when he became a Cardinal?

    Really hope the g-men don’t hire Joe G. Kenny Albert is somehow taller and AJ Persentpunk has more knowledge. # let AJ finally make his giants money
