Chicago Cubs potential replacement for David Ross: Bench coach Andy Green

Green was hired by the Cubs before the 2020 season to serve as the team’s bench coach. The move came after Green was fired by the San Diego Padres after four seasons as their manager. During that time, he compiled a 274-366 mark.

The 45-year-old Green has served as the interim skipper for the Cubs when Ross had to miss games because of COVID-19, so he’s familiar with not only the team but overseeing it during game action as well. He also showed plenty of passion during his first ejection filling in for Ross.

Bench coaches are often in the mix for positions when a team is looking for a change of direction, and Green’s familiarity with the players and previous managerial experience would certainly get him a look if the Cubs decided to part ways with Ross.
