“He’ll be replaced on an interim basis by Ryne Sandberg.”

Hopefully we’ll get some of that Cubs magic...

Sandberg led the Cubs to the postseason twice in the 80s as a player and has been a very successful minor-league manager.

The Cubs, speaking of classless, refused to give him the reins a few years back even though the team stunk on ice and the Phils snapped him up. I hope he succeeds wildly in Philadelphia.

LOL!!!

Cubs haven't won a National League championship since 1945 and haven't won a World Championship since 1908.

But you can't blame Sandberg for that. He was an outstanding player for them for many years. And, yes, it was the Phillies who were foolish enough to trade Sandberg to the Cubs very early in his career. Can't recall what they received in return, but it probably wasn't very much.
