Chicago Cubs to interview Ryne Sandberg and Fredi Gonzalez
By
According to a Major League source close to Bruce Levin of ESPNChicago.com, the Cubs will interview Minor League manager Ryne Sandberg and former Florida Marlins manager Fredi Gonzalez over the next 10 days.
Last week, Gordon Wittenmyer of the Chicago Sun-Times said Gonzalez is at the top of Cubs’ general manager Jim Hendry’s wish list. Wittenmyer added that Hendry prefers a manager with Major League experience, so sentimental favorite, Sandberg, may not get his opportunity to lead his former team.
Hendry said that there are no favorites for the job until he completes the interview process.
Former Cleveland Indians manager Eric Wedge interviewed with the team last month. Other candidates that the Cubs could interview include former Arizona Diamondbacks manager Bob Brenly, current New York Yankees manager Joe Girardi and Washington Nationals coach Pat Listach. Outside possibilities include Los Angeles Dodgers manager Joe Torre and ESPN analyst Bobby Valentine.
