CHICAGO (CBS/AP) — The Chicago Cubs say they plan to interview former Philadelphia Phillies manager Gabe Kapler. The Phillies fired Kapler last week after going 161-163 in two years with the team.
Following his firing, Kapler thanked the Phillies organization and placed the blame for teams lack of winning on himself.
“We came into 2019 with very high hopes. We fell short of those, and that responsibility lies with me. The next Phillies manager will inherit a team of talented, dedicated and committed players. There has been nothing more fulfilling in my professional career than the opportunity to work with the players on this team.
