#Cubs likely to hold standard year-end news conference later today. Joe Maddon’s contract is not expected to be extended beyond 2019, at least at this point in time. (Notably, Maddon’s camp has not requested an extension recently, either.) @MLBNetwork @MLB

If he doesn't get another managing gig this offseason, we really need to bring him in as our hitting coach (with the idea that he then can be an in house replacement for Torey Lovullo if the team starts next season the way it ended this season).

If he doesn't get another managing gig this offseason, we really need to bring him in as our hitting coach (with the idea that he then can be an in house replacement for Torey Lovullo if the team starts next season the way it ended this season).

The only thing I question is that Paul Molitor's entire playing and managing career was in the American League.

As long as the NL does not have a designated hitter, there is a difference between the AL and NL.

I hope we don't hire a man with zero National League experience on his resume to be a hitting coach or waiting in the wings on the D-backs.

Hey, this should convince people that we are not the same person.

The Nationals have acquired righty reliever Kyle Barraclough from the Marlins for international slot money. He’s 28, 3.21 ERA with an 11.48 K/9 in his career. Should provide middle relief stability. Big get.

#Reds managerial search is beginning to narrow, sources say. The team conducted more than 10 initial interviews, including with outside candidates John Farrell, Rocco Baldelli, Tom Prince and David Bell. Second-round interviews begin in earnest this week. @MLB @MLBNetwork
