- Cubs Third base coach Venable Talked to Tiger Gordon Wittenmeier reports from NBC Sports Chicago about his managerial vacancy. Wennable was first cited as a potential candidate for Tiger’s job back in September, and Wennell also recently interviewed the Red Sox about his managerial job. Outside of the Red Sox and Tigers, Wittenier writes, “other clubs have also sought Cubs’ permission to talk with Venable about other, non-managerial openings in their organizations.” Pente of nine MLB seasons, Wennable has spent the last three years in Brigville as a special assistant to Theo Epstein in, as well as first base and third base coach.

At least those names won’t return to Pittsburgh in 2021, as Athletic’s Rob Biertemphel thinks as many as six players could be non-tendered and some other trade candidates. Interestingly, Biertemphel quotes Trevor Williams As a potential non-tender, on the heels of a season that Williams had a good start but then struggled to finish with a 6.18 ERA in 55/3 innings, allowing the league-high 15 homers. Williams received little business interest back in August Gust from at least one team (Blue Jays), so it is possible that Toronto or any other club could negotiate with the pirates a little before the non-tender deadline. Williams had a solid season pairing in 2017-18 and is entering her age-29 season with 2 years of control remaining on the team. MLBTR Contributor Matt Schwartz projects Williams to earn between 2 3.2mm and 6 4.6mm this winter through the arbitration process.
