Those waiting for the Cubs to announce the hiring of David Ross as manager may have to wait a little longer.
If not forever.
Astros bench coach Joe Espada headed to Chicago Sunday for a second interview with the Cubs. Presumably, Espada flew into town — though it’s possible he simply floated here after celebrating Jose Altuve’s ALCS-winning walk-off home run Saturday night in Houston.
The return visit was first reported by MLB.com’s Mark Feinsand.
Does this make Espada, who first interviewed last Monday, at least a co-favorite, along with Ross, for the job?
It’s a reasonable leap knowing that first interview — which went very well, sources told the Sun-Times — left the Cubs front office wanting more time with him.
