rumor: Counsel was deciding between the Brewers and Mets. Cubs did NOT have permission to talk to him before 11/1. Cubs swooped in.... reports say Councel wanted to stay close to home (Milwaukee) as his kids are still in HS. The first bombshell of the off-season and Steve is feeling ALIVE. 🤩 See what good things can do

Did the Cubs find their "forever manager"? Counsel is still very young. Though it is a 5 year deal, this feels like a 10-15 year potential relationship.

Looks like Ross will be let go and not take a FO role and etc.

Reporting the Brewers offer was 5.5 million annually. Mets were close to 7 million. Cubs slammed the door with 8 million.

You don't sign Counsell to a $8 million AAV for 5 years and not give him choices on the coaching staff, I would expect some changes coming in that area too.

Astros, Angels, Brewers and Padres... all with Manager jobs open. Maybe Ross does take a year off.
