David Ross woke up this morning as the manager of the Chicago Cubs. Probably ate a bagel as manager of the Chicago Cubs. Maybe scrolled through some Instagram posts and liked a few as manager of the Chicago Cubs. Thought about ordering a pizza for dinner tonight as manager of the Chicago Cubs before remembering he needed to cook those bell peppers in his crisper before they go bad. Fajita night was maybe even pondered as manager of the Chicago Cubs.
That changed midday, however, as the Cubs shocked the baseball world by not only signing Craig Counsell to be their new manager, but by signing him to a whopping $40 million contract.
