Former Cubs Catcher David Ross Has Interest in Succeeding Joe Maddon

Former Cubs catcher David Ross would be interested in succeeding Joe Maddon and managing his former team if Chicago approached him with an offer.

Ross, who is considered a leading candidate to land Maddon's old job, was asked about the opportunity on Sunday's Baseball Tonight on ESPN, where he is currently an analyst.

"I think it's one of the best jobs in baseball," Ross said, per ESPN. "I've got a lot of close ties with those guys. I think the interest would be there. I think my heart is drawn to that dugout a little bit.
