Glad I abandoned ship already, or this would hit me hard.

Just the first step that needed to be taken before he ends up with the Dodgers.

Dodgers won a lot of games and made the playoffs, why didn't you ask everyone pointing to them. Sosh has needed to be gone for years.
Sosh failed as much as Mattingly did.

Do the Yankees still need a batting coach?

Do you guys really expect the Dodgers to come out say anything different right now? I still say he ends up with the Dodgers. Might go work for Baseball Tonight or Baseball Network for a year, but he will end up there.

Yup^ He's going to the Cubs. Makes so much sense there. The Cubs are gearing up and gonna grab a great manager, spend in FA and be a power house soon.

He's Arizona bound to work for LaRussa.

Interesting, if Maddon goes to the west coast I would not be shocked if Angels pitching coach Mike Butcher follows him there. Butcher went to Tampa the first year with Maddon, but it was too far away from his family in Arizona and returned to Anaheim after one season.

...."He added that he was unaware of a clause in his contract that allowed him to opt out if Friedman left the team, and it was new Rays president of baseball ops Matthew Silverman who told Maddon of the clause."
Surprisingly Maddon nor his agent was unaware of this clause? So Silverman's first act as new head of baseball ops is to lose his manager.... Yea the Rays will be just fine (sarcasm)

Only two clubs currently are without managers, the Rays and Twins. The Twins will give a look, however I think Maddon will come at too steep of a price for the penny pinchers in MN are willing to pay which is unfortunate.

[MENTION=1770]Jaypers[/MENTION]413. Will you still follow the Rays if they move to Montreal?

Guess you hadn't heard. I stopped following them (and being a fan of theirs) ever since the Price trade.
