Cubs Make Shocking Move! Ryan Flaherty Joins as Bench Coach Following Padres Manager Snub – What’s the Inside Scoop on This Unexpected Twist?
In a surprising twist, the Chicago Cubs have named Craig Counsell as their new manager, parting ways with David Ross. Meanwhile, the San Diego Padres have chosen Mike Shildt as their new skipper, opting for him over candidates like Phil Nevin and Ryan Flaherty.
Now, Flaherty is set to take on the role of bench coach for the Cubs, according to information from Britt Ghiroli of The Athletic. Ghiroli reports, “Ryan Flaherty is expected to be named Cubs bench coach. Flaherty was a finalist for the Padres managerial job that went to Mike Shildt. Had previously served as Padres bench coach. Now will hold the same role in Chicago under Craig Counsell.”
Flaherty, who served as the Padres’ bench coach last season, was initially considered a strong contender for the managerial position with the Padres. However, with Shildt securing the role, Flaherty has now shifted to the Cubs to assume the bench coach position under Counsell.
Despite having one year remaining on his contract with the Padres, Flaherty was granted permission to explore opportunities elsewhere, as reported by Dennis Lin of The Athletic.
Both the Cubs and Padres, having missed the playoffs last season, face uncertainties as they enter free agency and the offseason. With various rumors surrounding both teams, their directions will be closely watched. With Craig Counsell and Ryan Flaherty joining the coaching staff, change is underway around Wrigley Field.
