Theo Epstein's firing of Mike Quade and respectful passing on Ryne Sandberg indicates he's all business in Wrigleyville. (Jonathan Daniel/Getty Images)
So, Mike Quade gets fired, and within a split second of the news breaking, the cries all over the city are for Theo Epstein to go out and hire former Cubs Hall of Famer Ryne Sandberg.
Epstein’s answer to the city?
“The next manager must have managerial or coaching experience at the major league level.’’
And just like that, Ryno is no...Read Full Story
Hey Cubs fans, how nice would it be to have Ryne Sandberg join the new leadership regime in Chicago? (Ron Veseley/Getty Images)
Ryne Sandberg, get ready because your time is now. By normal standards, Sandberg is still “paying his dues.” He has only been managing for five seasons after nearly a decade away from the grind of a full season. Granted, being a spring-training instructor gives you a taste of what it’s like to coach, but it’s no comparison to facing the day-in and day-out highs and...Read Full Story
Eliminating Ryne Sandberg from the Cubs managerial search appears a short-sided approach I didn’t expect from Theo Epstein.
It’s understandable Sandberg’s lack of coaching experience at the major league level is a concern, there is something to be said from learning on the job as a base coach or bench coach at the highest level.
But it isn’t as if Sandberg hasn’t paid his dues coaching successfully through the minor leagues as a leader for young men on and off the field—much like his...Read Full Story
From the moment Theo Epstein announced Mike Quade’s dismissal he made it clear Ryne Sandberg was not a candidate to become the Cubs new skipper.
So I’m curious to know what would have happened if Jim Hendry had gone with Sandberg over Quade in the first place–assuming Ryno did as poorly or even slightly better than Quade as manager?
For arguments sake, let’s assume Ricketts fired Hendry anyway, leaving Sandberg’s future in the hands of Esptein and friends.

Sandberg, incidentally, was one of six candidates interviewed by the Cardinals. Former Phillies manager Larry Bowa, a friend of Sandberg’s, is mystified that it has taken so long for a hard worker and once-great player to get a chance.
Thirty years ago today, one of the more one-sided trades of the 1980s occurred. It was one of the worst trades the Phillies ever made, and one of the best trades the Cubs ever made.
At the time, the three-player transaction didn’t look like a big deal. If it was at all interesting to people, it’s because it was a challenge trades, in which the clubs swapped their veteran starting shortstops, with Chicago’s Ivan DeJesus going to the Phillies...
