There has been quite a shakeup at the field level across MLB, with managers dropping left and right due to retirement, firing, or just not being offered a new deal. The Cubs are obviously among those teams and are now engaged in a search to replace Joe Maddon, who is presumably headed to California to replace Brad Ausmus. Next year, however, it could be front office execs playing musical chairs.
That’s what Joel Sherman wrote in the New York Post, quoting a top official from an AL team who predicted a “GM purge” following the 2020 season.
