HOLY COW! JOE MADDON IS GOING TO CHI-TOWN

It’s looks as if former Tampa Bay Rays manager Joe Maddon is heading north to the Windy City.

CBSSports.com reports that Maddon is on the verge of signing a deal to become the manager of the Chicago Cubs. He would replace Rick Renteria who led the Cubs to a 73-89 record in his first season at the helm.

After having a successful nine-year tenure with the Rays, Maddon’s work will be cut out for him in Chicago. The Cubs are a perennial cellar dweller in the NL Central and haven’t made the playoffs since 2008.
