Managers
Terry Francona stepping down in Cleveland. Gabe Kaplar fired in San Francisco. Dusty Baker and Craig Counsell are free agents
Might be a slow offseason when it comes to managers. Few of the managers that wpuld normally be on the hot seat are already confirmed to be back next year.
Ross and Showalter are the only 2 left that I see that could be fired.
GMs
Red Sox fired Chad Bloom Reds promote Krall to President of Baseball Ops. Bill Meadow to GM. Tigers hired Jeff Greenberg for GM. Miguel Carbrera as special assistant.

I can't see Hoyer firing Ross. I'm not sure that I want him too either, unless Counsell is available. But then I don't think Counsell comes to Chicago for the Cubs job. So the Cubs have Ross for at least another year, IMO.

If SD parts with Melvin, he would be a significant upgrade over Ross.

Buck Show alter is out with the Mets. Was told to step down or be fired. I loved his press conference, he did well to keep his composure and not blast the Mets for making him try to play it like it was a mutual decision and he wasn't fired. www.bing.com/videos/riverview/relatedvideo?&q=buck+showalter+press+conference&&mid=178E503B1E8F560AF971178E503B1E8F560AF971&&FORM=VRDGARBilly gave the the choice of either stepping aside or ,< kind of shakes his head in confusion> and ....or uh , I don't know what else . And he ends it with " If I talk anymore it won't get good"

If SD parts with Melvin, he would be a significant upgrade over Ross. If he couldn't win or even make the playoffs with an all star team then I don't want anything to do with him at all.

Tom Ricketts says Rossy is "our guy" and he's likely to remain with team.
Was there some occasions were Ross sucked? Sure- but he's still fairly promising as manager and how hard of a time can we give the guy after his team just beat projections
Pecota - 74 wins Zips - 78 wins
actual number - 83 wins

Ross will be back in 24, however he has club option for 25, if Cubs are awful again early in the season he does not survive it.

Ross and the FO are on the same page. They talk every day. I'm sure they'd take known over unknown.
