The Chicago Cubs responded to their September collapse by firing David Ross and hiring former Milwaukee Brewers manager Craig Counsell.
Jesse Rogers @JesseRogersESPN...First as a player and then as a manager, David continually showcased his ability to lead. David's legacy will be felt in Chicago for generations and his impact to our organization will stack up with the legends that came before him."
The move was first reported by The Athletic's Ken Rosenthal and ESPN's Jeff Passan.
Rosenthal reported that the Cubs gave Counsell a five-year deal worth more than $40 million.
