Chicago Sun-Times confirms.

This was the right move once Wedge was out of the picture.

Love this, let Ryno get his feet wet somewhere else.

53 year old first time manager. Gulp. Double gulp.

Except for the nearly 20 years managing in the minors..

It'll be fine.. We have him here to rebuild.

 

[poodski]

Meh. Not really a fan of this, but oh well.

Per Ed Price of Fanhouse.com-

-Ryne Sandberg will leave organization now that he lost the job.

-Pat Listach is favorite to be named 3rd base coach/bench manager if he does not get Milwaukee job.

 

[poodski]

Dempster will be on Waddle and Silvy shortly to discuss.

 

[tbo41fan]

I like this...no need to have Sandberg coach while rebuilding

 

[poodski]

Ha man I love Dempster, they asked if he would want Cliff Lee on the team, and he said no that guy only pitches 8 innings.

 

[JustinTCB]

Great move IMO. Quade has a ton of experience with young players, which is going to matter a lot the next few years.

 

[Jntg4]

Brilliant! Excellent move! Though I'll probably change my mind if he benches Castro again, lol.

I don't like the move, he's too much like Piniella on his moves. Now the Cubs also lost Sandberg because of this move. More tickets would of sold if Sandberg was manager. Oh well, I knew it was going to happen and I got the frustration out long ago.

How is he too much like Piniella exactly?

Cause I'd say he's pretty different.

I saw when I watched him. He's been under Piniella for 3 years or so and he now has his tactics. You'll see when the season comes. The only different is he's not afraid to bench players. But, he loves Hill....

 

[waldo7239117]

There's one good thing about this: We will start hearing rumors for the offseason and tI love that part.

Him and Lou aren't close to the same person.

Lou is an angry, stuttering guy who manages with "fire" and treats his pitchers like crap.

Quade is a rational, well spoken guy who manages with a level head. He likes his pitchers, and I think that was what he did best.

Sandberg disappointed, will seek other jobs - Chicago Breaking Sports

He did that and that was different from Piniella, but the othe rmoves. Not playing young players, when to put the right pitchers in, etc. I think Sandberg would of the done the same or better.
