Just asking: What if Joe Maddon wins bigger without the Cubs than the Cubs do without him?

Joe Maddon is going to walk into his next gig and blow the roof off the joint.

He’ll crush it. He’ll kill it. He’ll be a rock star all over again.

But don’t take it from me. Take it from Cubs president Theo Epstein, the very man who dumped Maddon over the weekend in St. Louis.

“Joe is going to go somewhere else and dominate,” Epstein said. “He’s going to change the culture. He’s going to get the players to relax, be themselves, get the absolute most out of their ability, come together as a team, establish a new identity.
