Ryne Sandberg is the new 3rd base coach for the Phillies

He will also be the infield instructor.

Nice to see him back in the bigs.

One step closer to manager.

grooming him for when the Chuckster retires or kicks the bucket which ever comes first ......

Nice. Good for Ryno.

Maybe after next year the Cubs can get rid of Svuem and right the wrong by hiring Ryno.

Now to keep an eye on the Phillies schedule.

This is excellent news for Ryne!

Looking forward to his return to Wrigley next year. I might need to get tickets for that game

I'm hoping they trade him to the Cubs after 13 games. Deja Vu baby!

Good for Ryno but it just never seems right when a player spends most or all of his career with one team then ends up coaching or on coaching staff of another :-| The cubs couldnt find a job for him?? Well he was a Philly 13 games in his career.

He will be the next manager of the Phillies. Sorry Cubs lose again.

Ryno would've been a distraction. He had a great run in the minors but could never harness his anger. I am all about managers proving a point and taking up for players but he took it to a whole new level. There was a stretch in the minors where players could not benefit having him as manager due to the fact that he was spending as much time in the clubhouse as the dugout. A great person to the fans, though. I love the Cubs and initially thought having him manage the big club would be great. After seeing his antics in person I changed my mind.

Mixed emotions about this.

Good to see him coaching at the MLB level, sad to see which team its for.

Good for Ryno, bad for my autograph collection, lol, seeing as the Iron Pigs were the closest minor league park to my house... I hope they at least bring in another exMLBer, someone who I can start a new collection of.
