Has it been announced as a done deal?Originally Posted by Boston Red
It's on MLB.com. Seems pretty reliable.

I don't think anyone's surprised. He was the front runner all alone, so when I saw your post I was wondering if any announcement had been made
Does this mean that we're in trade talks to send Bell to Chicago in exchange for Javier Baez? I'd be up for that.
Red Sox speak to Bryan Price about pitching coach opening

Price, while not a great manager, was a class act, especially after he was fired.. I wish him well.

When Maddon managed the Cubs, he brought real baby bears onto the field. I worry about what he will do with the Angels. One of these, possibly.
It is on the whole probable that we continually dream, but that consciousness makes such a noise that we do not hear it. Carl Jung.
Bottom line is he seems to be a damn fine pitching coach.
Yet I wonder - is a (great) pitching coach the same as it was 5-10 years ago?

@JonHeyman
The Philly front office likes Showalter from Baltimore dats. But belief is owner John Middleton — who made the Kapler call — is leaning toward Joe Girardi. Girardi likely has good feel he’s getting something since he left team USA. @thekapman suggested Phils job is Joe’s to lose.

Mets Notes: Managerial Search, Wheeler
The Mets have begun narrowing the field in their managerial search, as Joel Sherman of the New York Post reports that neither Padres first base coach Skip Schumaker nor D-backs director of player development Mike Bell will receive a second interview.

David Ross to manage the Cubs...
Pirates continue to roll with Neal Huntington...David Kaplan
@thekapman
Cubs made their decision late yesterday afternoon and the other candidates have been informed they are indeed out. David Ross is the choice. @ESPNChiCubs joins me at 9:25 on @ESPN1000. Story coming on @NBCSChicago and the MyTeams app.

Neal Huntington remains GM so he survives the Pirates purge. New team prez will be named a Monday.
