Well the only thing that could make a trade more likely is if Cleveland has further payroll constraints like what they went through last year. I honestly don't know where they stand this off season. But they probably want to try and compete the next couple of years before inevitably losing Lindor.
From MLBTR, our old friend David Ross is one of the favorites to be the Cubs new manager. He's actually the leader to replace Maddon. He could be named as new manager as early as Thurs.
Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth
And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;......
And, while with silent, lifting mind I’ve trod
The high untrespassed sanctity of space,
Put out my hand, and touched the face of God.

I think the more analytically driven teams have a preference for a young guy who doesn't have the preconceptions that veteran managers might bring to the job. I know this is an overgeneralization. There may be some old dudes out there who are very open to new ways. But age and experience will work against managerial candidates for some teams.

I'm happy for Ross. He seems like a good dude.

Looks like the Mets messed up their hire again. Some people are saying they wanted Girardi, some people are saying they didn't and purposefully waited for Phily to hire Girardi. The logic here is they cold then hire someone else despite fans wanting Girardi and then using that as an excuse that they just missed out on him.
Did everyone see what Rob Drake tweeted today? JFC what a nut job. If we already didn't know MLB umps are clueless idiots this proves it.

Padres hired Tingler as manager. Hope this means Washington stays.

Wash has not been mentioned as a viable manager candidate to my knowledge for other manager jobs.
I'm glad he is staying with the Braves at least for now.
The open manager jobs are being filled quickly and thus the probabilities of Wash leaving are going down.
And keeping Wash in the fold, when AA finally pulls the plug on Snits, Wash will be here to take Snits place at least in a temp mode.
Fredi left the Fish to pursue a managers job some where.. He's being over looked at every turn in the road.
