Is Hendry really safe?

[NCCubFan]

I think the general assumption has been that Hendry will have at least one chance to turn things around (especially with the contract extension he signed). However, a current cubs.com article makes me wonder (I realize I may be reading something into this that isn't there due to wishful thinking). The article was mainly about Baker (Hendry reiterated that he'd make his decision on offering Baker an extension within a week of the end of the season). One specific quote caught my eye:

You do what's in the best interests of the Chicago Cubs and not what's in the best interest of any individual, including myself.

The bolded words make me wonder if Hendry feels safe, or if he's considering resigning (or perhaps taking a different position within the organization). Of course, his words could also be interpreted as meaning that he wants to bring Dusty back but he realizes that it would be in the best interests of the organization to get a new manager. It may not have anything to do with his status as GM at all. Still, I thoughtit was an interesting comment worthy of speculation.

I think hes just making a blanket statement because he refuses to discuss the issue until the season is over. I don't see any sign of resigning in that statement.

If anything, I see it as saying even if Hendry wants to bring Dusty back personally, if it's not in the best interest of the team, he won't.

 

That's what I infer.
