October 29, 201411 yr Baseball community is not happy with how this is going down. "Some sh-t is going down that doesn?t look good" -- baseball managers and lifers react to Joe Maddon/Cubs situation - NY Daily News
October 30, 201411 yr $ talks, and I don't think he went after Renterias job like the article implies. You can't be mad at Maddon for taking the call and taking the $ that sets up his family for life. And you can't be mad at Theo cause his job rides on whether this team wins or not. It's not personal, it's business.

October 30, 201411 yr I think the argument is that he shouldn't even interview with a team that HAS a manager. That's stupid.
October 30, 201411 yr Hopefully the Cubs can go out and land Jon Lester this offseason I think they will and I think they'll try for Hamels too
October 30, 201411 yr Renteria deserves better. Thought he did a nice job in his first year of managing the Cubs. Team remained competitive until the end of the season. They finished last and 17 games out. They werent competitive 2 weeks after the season started.
October 30, 201411 yr I think the argument is that he shouldn't even interview with a team that HAS a manager. If it is shown that Maddon has done this, he will have violated the most sacred rule in the eyes of managers/coaches. Talking to a team that still has a manager behind that manager's back is a definite no-no.

October 30, 201411 yr If it was the Reds none of y'all would care I don't really care if it is with the Cubs or Reds or anyone else. The managers throughout baseball will care however. Maddon might not give a rip if it what he wants though.

October 30, 201411 yr Joke all you want, NL Central execs don't like seeing this one bit and neither do their fans. We will continue to joke until they get to a World Series. Until then continue the premature ejaculation all you want. :sssh::popcorn::lol2:
October 31, 201411 yr They finished last and 17 games out. They werent competitive 2 weeks after the season started. My comment was that the Cubs remained competitive through the end of the season. Yes, they finished last, but they finished strong. From July 28 until the end of the season, Cubs went 32-29.
October 31, 201411 yr This is great for the Cubs and all, but it's not like Maddon is Bochy in the playoffs. Great hire and great coach, but a long way to go.
