Cubs hire Craig Counsell to replace manager David Ross
CHICAGO -- The Cubs have hired Milwaukee Brewers manager Craig Counsell to replace David Ross.As CBS Sports reported, Counsell just wrapped up his ninth season with the Brewers, during which his teams have won the NL Central three times and gone to the postseason five times. Milwaukee has won just one postseason series under Counsell, however. They swept the Colorado Rockies in the 2018 Division Series.
When his contract ended in 2023, CBS Sports said he became hotly pursued by other teams including the Mets, Brewers and Guardians, making this move to the Cubs a 'shocker.'Counsell, 53, is the most successful manager in Brewers history with 707 wins. The Wisconsin native is also the longest-serving manager in Brewers history. The Cubs were on the hunt to make the playoffs this year, but a late-season collapse eliminated them from the postseason.
