Joe Maddon sudden resignation from the Tampa Bay Rays was stunning. After his friend General Manager Andrew Friedman left the Rays to head to the Los Angeles Dodgers, Maddon suddenly decided to use his opt out clause in his contract.
Where does Maddon go from here? How about the Chicago Cubs? The Cubs have a manager in Rick Renteria and the Cubs would have to pay a lot of money to make him go away. However, that is a small price to pay.
The Cubs have some of the best prospects in baseball, and Maddon knows how to get the best out of a young Rays team. Maddon is a two time AL manager of the year with the Rays.
In closing, do not put anything past Theo Epstein and Cubs GM Jed Hoyer.
