Gordon Wittenmyer of the Chicago Sun-Times reports that Indians bench coach Sandy Alomar Jr., Red Sox bench coach DeMarlo Hale and Rays bench coach Dave Martinez are all being considered for the Cubs' vacant managerial position.

It's the first we've heard about any of them being associated with the Cubs job. Alomar Jr. and Martinez are also being considered by the Red Sox. It's not clear when any of the triumvirate will interview, but it appears they'll have some work to do, as Brewers hitting coach Dale Sveum and Rangers pitching coach Mike Maddux are viewed as the early favorites for the job.

I stand corrected. :-)

Rangers pitching coach Mike Maddux has withdrawn his name from consideration for the Red Sox managerial job.

Very interesting. Maddux was scheduled for an interview with the Red Sox on Tuesday, but the meeting will not take place. Though he won't visit with the Cubs until Wednesday, many already consider him the favorite for the job. As for the Red Sox, they have already spoken with Phillies bench coach Pete Mackanin and Brewers hitting coach Dale Sveum and are scheduled to interview Indians bench coach Sandy Alomar, Jr. on Wednesday.

Also from Peter Gammons...

Mike Maddux hasn't been to Chicago, Boston wasn't good family fit, not yet sure he can give more time away from family. Stay tuned

"We're in a good situation," Maddux says of his Ranger job. "My family moved here, the kids will be in school for 3 more years here."

Meaning he probably doesn't want to manage.

 

That's what it sounds like. If that is actually the case, Dave Martinez please

 

Or it could mean that he's happy with his situation and the kids will be in school for 3 more years there.

If he didn't want to manage,wouldn't he just pull himself off the table and decline all interviews? He said he still plans on meeting with the Cubs on Wednesday. Also,said he is going to discuss it with his family tonight.

Pretty much this.

 

Or maybe he just wants to stoke the fires for when he does want to manage.

Maybe the other teams didn't report it yet. Why would he pull his name just from the Red Sox?

Or maybe Boston is a bad fit for him and he decided not to waste his time or theirs. It is well known that his daughters go to college in the DFW area and that he just built a house. He has a good thing going so I am sure there will be, as there always is, some family consideration. But if he decided he didn't want to manage, he would have pulled the plug entirely, which he hasn't done.

How would he know it's a bad fit without a interview? Why would Chicago be better for his family?

I don't have any personal knowledge about the situation, but he's been in baseball a long time so it wouldn't be crazy to think that he could make up his mind that a place wasn't good for him without interviewing.

Maybe Mike is more interested in the Cubs job because of his brother?

What if the Cubs don't want him? Why limit his choices?

His kids are in college? I'd understand is his kids were in grade school, even if they were in high school.

 

College? Is that really gonna hold him back? They're legal adults at this point. Time to cut the cord, Mike.

Because Chicago is great and Boston sucks balls, obviously.
