The Cubs announced today that Joe Maddon will not return as manager in 2020.
Maddon, Cubs part ways after five seasonsThat moment has arrived for Joe Maddon and the Cubs.
On Sunday, the Cubs announced that they would not be offering Maddon a contract extension following this season, making the decorated manager a free agent for 2020. Following arguably the greatest managerial era in the team’s long, storied history, there will be a new voice at the helm.
Maddon and Cubs president of baseball operations Theo Epstein met with reporters prior to Sunday's season finale at Busch Stadium to discuss the decision and what will come next for Chicago. No matter who occupies the manager’s office at Wrigley Field next, there is no denying Maddon’s place in Cubs lore.

Probably a lot of chatter on the Cubs' blogs.
When you say it's gonna happen now
When exactly do you mean?
It looks like Joe Girardi is the front runner for the Cubs job and I read a rumor somewhere that the Angels will let Brad Ausmus go to hire Maddon
Girardi is a good manager, but he needs to adjust to the times. He is not a players manager. He is a hard ass manager, someone who the Cubs probably need, but may not be receptive to
Hal sucks
Confirmed Brad Ausmus is out, looks like the Angels want a reunion with Madon
who would you rather have helming the 2020 red sox?
Cora
Maddon
Ausmus
Scioscia
Hurdle
