According to a source close to MLB.com’s Bill Ladson, Washington Nationals’ third base coach Pat Listach is no longer a candidate to manage the Chicago Cubs. Ladson says there was no reason as to why Listach is out of the running.

Listach could be called by the Toronto Blue Jays to interview for their vacant managerial position, Ladson cautions that he’s on a long-list of candidates.

The 1992 American League Rookie of the Year managed in the Cubs’ Minor League system, going 253-221. In August, Listach said he was interested in the Cubs’ job. “I would definitely like the job,” Listach said at the time.  “But I have a job to do here in Washington. If that job is available, it would be a dream come true. When you bring  a championship to that city and that team, it’s a big deal.”

“It’s one of the elite jobs in baseball. When you start talking about the Cubs, Yankees, Red Sox and Dodgers, that’s the elite of the elite. Just to be considered is an honor. It makes me feel good as a person that I’ve done the right things in this game that people would consider me”
