I don’t want to get all Robert Frost here. Poetry is definitely weird energy for a Friday. But as I watched the Cubs manager search finally reach its conclusion with the team hiring former backup catcher David Ross over Astros bench coach Joe Espada the line that kept popping into my head was: “two roads diverged in a yellow wood...”
Everything about this It feels like the Cubs front office ultimately had a choice to make - they could double down on “The Cubs Way” or bring in an outsider. They chose to do the former.
