Joins Cubs
Maddon signs to the Cubs from Tampa Bay Rays, for a five-year, $25 Million contract that is “loaded with incentives”
Press conference
The team announces Maddon as their manager.
At the end of the day, unless we are aligned perfectly it’s not going to work. It just can’t work. That’s the way the game has evolved to this point. The autocratic manager of yesteryear has gone. It’s not just about one guy any more…to be philosophically aligned with these guys is important to me.
