This one felt like a strong possibility as news about various coaching staffs trickled out during the playoffs. With a few spots open in Chicago and former Cub Quintin Berry being familiar with Craig Counsell from their time together in Milwaukee, it was easy to connect the dots. As three of The Athletic’s MLB writers reported Thursday, Berry will indeed be joining the Cubs as their new third base coach.
That means he’ll be on the other end of sending runners home after carving out a playing career based largely on his elite speed.
