Cubs hiring former Padres manager Andy Green as bench coach

Andy Green won’t be staying home in 2020.

The Cubs are bringing the former Padres manager aboard next year as bench coach for first-year skipper David Ross, the Union-Tribune confirmed.

Green, 42, was fired before the final week of the regular season with about $2 million owed to him through the 2021 season.

Before joining the Padres four years ago, Greeny served as the Diamondbacks’ bench coach.

Green was 274-366 over four seasons in San Diego, topping out at 71 wins in 2017.

In Chicago, Green will be the right-hand man for Ross, a 42-year-old former catcher embarking on his first on-field job since retiring after the 2016 season.
