David Ross 'I Don't Fault' Cubs' Jed Hoyer for Firing: 'That's His Job'

David Ross doesn't blame Chicago Cubs president of baseball operations Jed Hoyer for making a change at manager by hiring ex-Milwaukee Brewers skipper Craig Counsell.

"We had our conversation," Ross told Jim Henry of the Tallahassee Democrat about Hoyer, who traveled to Florida and spoke with the Cubs' ex-manager in person about the move.

"If my boss doesn't think I am a good manager, then he should move on. I don't fault him for that. If he doesn't think I am the right guy, that's his job. That's his choice. I have my own thoughts and opinions that I will keep to myself.
