David Ross may have finished his interview with the Cubs by the time you read this, but his employment status probably won’t be determined for at least a few more days. Even so, he’s still the clubhouse leader in the race to become the new, uh, clubhouse leader in Chicago.
“If you’re a betting man,” Paul Sullivan overheard one Cubs player saying to another team employee, “put your money on Rossy.”
This exchange took place several days ago when team personnel were packing up their belongings at Wrigley, so take that for what it’s worth.
