There should be 25 or so MLB managers feeling some serious heat in the seat of their pants right now.

Reports view Cubs as the favorite right now. Dodgers rumored not to be a possible destination.

the former gm of Tampa is now running the Dodgers.....Joe to the Dodgers is a possibility. I don't believe they
are not interested.

Braves not going after him. Not serious about winning. Rather have Maddon than most of the players on the roster

[Chris]

Joe quit period.

[AlexJones]

Fuck me. He couldn't quit last year after Leyland retired

[ducks]

if I am the tiger I call him

[DJ Mbenga]

will likely be the cubs manager. tampa already prepared to say tampering was involved

[Robz4000]

He'd be great for the Cubs tbh. With the talent that team has/will have they should be back in the postseason in a year or two; should also increase their allure for FAs.

if I am the tiger I call him
if you am the angel i hope you call him.

[Pelicans78]

Rather have Ned Yost tbh.

[Biernutz]

Any of you who said Joe would go to the Cubs are the winner. Reports out by CBS Sports today
that the Cubs will announce Joe will become the manger this year. Joe is a solid choice
and lets see if Theo can get him some players to get them heading in the right direction......
