The Chicago Cubs are being ‘stalked,’ and Will Venable is the target. Will they get him to go, or will he stay put?
The Chicago Cubs and the Detroit Tigers are in a duel for Will Venable’s talents. The Cubs’ third-base coach is being pursued by the Tigers and the Boston Red Sox for their managerial openings. Ron Gardenhire is a cancer survivor, which already plays a role in his health.
The Tigers’ Gardenhire had an issue in Minnesota with some stomach virus, and he’s not been able to get back to good health, so he’s retiring.
