[Guest]

This seems like McLeod wants nothing to do with Padres ownership.

McLeod withdraws name from consideration for SD GM job

 

McLeon pulled out early

 

I never recommend pulling out early.

 

Better early than late.

Because otherwise he'd be stuck with the Padres job

Tell that to SCOTUS

[Guest]

I'm glad he's staying but what an idiot.

 

Really? He'll get far more chances with teams that are better situations.

[davell]

Yeah, he should wind up with better opportunities than the Padres.

[Omar]

He explained that he was “flattered” to be considered, but wants to stay in Chicago because the team has “a lot of special things going on.”

Early is good when you're being filmed

His value's going to be higher after we win a WS, plus I'm sure he's getting paid pretty well already.

[Little Slide Rooter]

Chances are we're paying him more as an assistant than the Padres would as a GM. Besides, if Theo has managed to persuade one of sports' most anxious fan bases to be patient for a few more years, surely he had little to no trouble convincing his buddy to stick around.

[SouthSideRyan]

Yeah, he should wind up with better opportunities than the Padres.

Oh, we'll just strap on our WS helmet squeeze down into a WS cannon and fire off into WS land.

woah, no one said anything about a cannon, those things are expensive.

@ScottMillerBbl: Cubs had planned to extend McLeod this winter, but after he declined interview for #Padres GM slot, appreciative club decided to do it now.

 

@ScottMillerBbl: Sources: The #Cubs have extended scouting director Jason McLeod's contract by 2 years.
