WATCH: Epstein says if you want a puppet, don't hire David Ross |
New Cubs manager
David Ross held his introductory press conference Monday.
Cubs President of Operations Theo Epstein shared that David Ross will make his own decisions and he is the furthest thing from a 'YES' man that they could have hired by the front office. "He is absolutely his own man. I don’t expect a yes man in the least. I am looking forward with someone with their own ideas.” Check out the video below: Theo Epstein: "If you're a front office and you want a puppet, you don't hire David Ross."
