Cubs Confirm Will Venable, Mark Loretta Candidates for Manager Gig
Theo Epstein said during Monday’s press conference that there was one internal option for the open managerial job, though that may have been at least one. Or, since he was addressing a question about Mark Loretta, maybe he was talking about one in addition to the bench coach. Either way, the team confirmed Tuesday that both Loretta and first base coach Will Venable would be interviewed for the big vacancy, along with David Ross.
The Cubs' other internal candidates for manager include Mark Loretta and Will Venable on top of David Ross.
