>>>> Cubs' Theo Epstein says David Ross will be considered for manager job: 'He's one of many candidates'

Ross, a member of the 2016 World Series team, is beloved by the Cubs' clubhouse
 
Before the season finale on Sunday, the Chicago Cubs announced that manager Joe Maddon would not return next year. The news was immediately followed with rumors and speculation about Maddon's next move, as well as the best candidates to be his successor in Chicago. One candidate garnering a lot of buzz as of late is former Cubs catcher David Ross. 

On Monday, president of baseball operations Theo Epstein confirmed that Ross will be considered as a candidate for the team's open managerial position.

"He's one of many candidates," Epstein said. 

The Cubs finished the 2019 regular season with a record of 84-78, and missed the postseason for the first time since 2014.
