Hendry, Quade Likely Gone
ON THE HOT SEAT Jim Hendry, Cubs: Speculation persists that owner Tom Ricketts might hire Hall of Fame inductee Pat Gillick as club president. In theory, Gillick could retain Hendry, and the two could work together to fix the club. But the entire idea seems far-fetched; Cubs fans want change, and both Hendry and manager Mike Quade seem likely to be replaced. The real intrigue would begin once Ricketts began his search for a new GM. White Sox assistant GM Rick Hahn is generally regarded as the game’s leading GM candidate, but many in the industry believe that the Cubs’ job also might draw interest from some of the game’s top current GMs. Good news. Of course, this won't change much. The current organization is screwed so hard it will take a few years to get out of this mess. I hope Ricketts replaces the entire baseball operations dpt. From the GM to the scouts. Get rid of all of them.
