Even if Joe Girardi gets what he’s asking for, he might not get exactly what he’s looking for in the Cubs managing job.

Girardi, the former Yankees manager and ex-Cubs player, is one of at least three candidates interviewing with the front office this week, including presumptive favorite David Ross and Cubs first-base coach Will Venable.
Bench coach Mark Loretta interviewed Thursday, and the Cubs have at least one candidate in the playoffs they hope to interview.
But how much of the Cubs’ 83-win team will be left by spring training?
