Joe Maddon Will Not Return as Cubs Manager

Joe Maddon is the only manager in Cubs history to take the team to four consecutive postseason appearances. He’s also the manager who broke the curse and brought home a World Series title after 108 years of frustration. And now, he’s out as manager following a disappointing season that has the team searching for ways to change direction.

Joe and Theo got together last night, split a bottle of wine in Theo's hotel room and came to the conclusion that their five year run together had come to an end.
