Crasnick article on MLB managerial shuffle; interesting quote

13

Nothing really new added to the information on the Cubs search. Quade will be involved, Sandberg is presumptive favorite, Wedge/Brenly/Gonzalez all mentioned. First time I've seen Listach definitively suggested as a candidate, unless I missed an article. Continues to suggest that this is completely Hendry's call, for those that think Ricketts may try to tilt the process (of course, the only people that can answer that won't be talking ... but considering that Ricketts has tried to let his baseball people do their thing so far, I'd be a tad surprised if he stepped in and forced Hendry to go a certain way). Found a quote to be interesting. Doesn't mean squat unless things start getting better sooner than later, but it was interesting to hear Crasnick say "Cubs general manager Jim Hendry is refraining from blow-by-blow updates. But he might be the most well-connected GM in the game ..."
