Crossposting from the other one:
Yeah, I'm pretty sure he will end up managing the Dodgers.
But, at the fear of being lynched here, would anyone like to see him managing the Red Sox?

When introduced last week as the Dodgers president of baseball operations, Andrew Friedman said Don Mattingly would “definitely” manage the team next season.
That remains the case, even in the wake of Joe Maddon’s sudden departure from the Tampa Bay Rays, Friedman wrote in a text message Friday.

yea, the entire reason they hired him was the young talent was underperforming. I don't know how he is as an on field manager, but the Cubs had a very positive season.bosockboy said:Cubs make a ton of sense, but a pretty dick move to can Renteria after he really did the best with what he could.
Yes. Maddon was the other finalist.Remagellan said:
This comment deserves more love.
I thought the Dodgers for sure, but the Cubs makes perfect sense. Wasn't he the other finalist when Theo hired Francona to manage the Sox?
I would feel bad for Rays fans if there were any or if their announcers hadn't treated that team like God's Gift to Baseball for the past six years.

Probably the same guy who gets that interview with the Rays...he's going to be busy this winter. But that's OK, he gets the summer off.
I just had another kid so as of last week the fan base has increased by 33%Sox and Rocks said:VORP speed and Dick Vitale
Why wouldn't the Spawnbrenners just hire Maddon?Rotate this...Girardi to the Cubs, Mattingly to the MFY's and Maddon to the Dodgers.

Read the writing on the wall .. Lost your genius GM, bad farm system , declining major league team , Shrinking payroll, crappy park And if he goes to the Cubs .. Excellent GM, great farm system , improving major league team .. Payroll about to expand greatly , great ballpark and a big personal payday .. Gee not exactly a difficult.choice.Not to mention in the NL he can do stupid shit like batting the pitcher 8th or triple switches .soxhop411 said:<p>Jayson Stark @jaysonst 58s58link to tweet seconds ago The more I hear from sources who have spoken with #Rays more convinced I am that there was almost no offer that could have kept Maddon there Sounds like he wanted out
