With the regular season having only come to an end five days ago, there are already seven managerial openings around the league.
Here’s a ranking of the seven teams who need a manager ranked in order by most-to-least appealing.
Chicago Cubs
The Cubs possess plenty of star power (Javier Baez, Anthony Rizzo, Willson Contreras), but for now lack a true ace unless Yu Darvish can get it together for a whole season.
David Ross most likley the next #Cubs manager, but @pgammo believes Theo and Jed will talk to several people about the job. He also believes @CubsJoeMadd winds up with #Angels pic.twitter.com/VM5wYoUCty

San Diego Padres
In shortstop Fernando Tatis Jr. and starting pitcher Chris Paddack, the Padres have two young stars to build around. Ownership has been known to spend money despite being a smaller market, but has it been on the right players (Eric Hosmer, Manny Machado)?
"If I’m the Padres, I want experience and a manager who is absolutely going to embrace technology & analytics." @JimBowdenGM joined the @DSmithShow & talked why the #Padres are behind other teams in analytics & who might be the next manager.
