Theo Epstein: David Ross '1 of Many Candidates' for Cubs Job After Maddon Exit

As the Chicago Cubs search for a new manager after letting Joe Maddon go, president of baseball operations Theo Epstein said former catcher David Ross is a target.

"He's on our broad list of candidates," Epstein said Monday, per NBC Sports Chicago's Tim Stebbins. "He's one of many candidates."

Epstein said experience will be a consideration but not a "determining factor," per ESPN's Jesse Rogers.

"David Ross has a lot of great things going for him," he said. "His connection to the players on this team, and especially his connection to the 2016 team, are not necessarily assets that distinguish him or are important to us.
