I had predicted a few days ago that the Cubs’ search for a new manager would be over by Monday one way or the other, but that may not be the case ($). While it has been declared a two-man race between David Ross and Joe Espada, Patrick Mooney of The Athletic wrote that the list “may include another unidentified candidate who could come in for a meeting at the Wrigley Field office building.”
That’s really amorphous and far from definitive, but a little reading between the lines with educated assumptions may help us discern something from it nonetheless.
