Chicago Cubs make the right choice, hire David Ross as manager
The Chicago Cubs have made a final decision with respect to their managerial opening, electing to hire former catcher and clubhouse stalwart David Ross.
David Ross, who helped bring a World Series title to the North Side in 2016, erasing a century-plus of championship drought, has long been considered as a favorite for the position since the team parted ways with Joe Maddon. Now, it’s (semi) official. He will succeed Maddon as the manager of the Chicago Cubs.
He has had a well-documented mentorship of players such as Anthony Rizzo and Kris Bryant and had also been Jon Lester‘s personal catcher in Boston and Chicago.
