October 31, 201411 yr Cubs fired Renteria this afternoon. Chicago Cubs fire manager Rick Renteria after one season - ESPN Chicago
October 31, 201411 yr I think the argument is that he shouldn't even interview with a team that HAS a manager. Sounds like the Cubs issue, not Maddon's.
October 31, 201411 yr We will continue to joke until they get to a World Series. Until then continue the premature ejaculation all you want. :sssh::popcorn::lol2: What?
October 31, 201411 yr Sounds like the Cubs issue, not Maddon's. It's an issue for both if true. No manager would do that. It's just not professional. However, I read today that the Cubs flew out to Cali to let Renteria know they were going to pursue Maddon and offered him another gig in the organization.

Why should managers positions be any different then any other game?
November 1, 201411 yr Cubs handled it the best way they could. Anyone who thinks the Cubs shoulda passed on Maddon is an idiot. They offered Renteria other positions in the organization. There's no comparison between the 2.
November 1, 201411 yr Why should managers positions be any different then any other game? Any other game? I don't follow.
November 1, 201411 yr Any other game? I don't follow. I meant job. Trying to mess with trick r treaters
November 4, 201411 yr Since Maddon is the new Cubs manager, any chance the Cubbies would take BJ Upton from the Braves...please?
November 5, 201411 yr Why should managers positions be any different then any other game? I feel the same. If I have a starting catcher under contract, and I go out and hire a catcher I think is better to take his place, nobody gets upset. IMO the Cubs went out and hired what they think is a better manager. As long as they don't try to cheat the old one out of any money due to him, I don't see a difference.

I actually agree with you but baseball has more unwritten rules than all other entities combined. The Cubs seem to have been pretty upfront about this from what I have read lately so I think it will all blow over quickly, if not already; however a lot of folks in baseball think it is wrong to court another manager when you have one employed. The fact that Theo actually met with Renteria in person to tell him that they were going to talk to Maddon makes it seem better though.
November 11, 201411 yr The entire American League is happy to see Joe go. Now he has prospects on a team who will spend.
November 12, 201411 yr Just read on mlbtraderumors.com that the Cubs and Nationals are in talks about a trade involving Jordan Zimmerman being sent to Chicago. Cubs are also talking to Jon Lester and Justin Masterson
