Though he was probably never a serious candidate for the Jay job, cross the name Eric Wedge off the lsit of potential new skippers in TO. The 101-loss Mariners tabbed the ex-Indian chief (Har!) for their club's managerial post today, one former backup backstop (Wedge) to replace another (Don Wakamatsu). Good hire?
UPDATE: The Cubs have retained Mike Quade as manager, dropping the "interim" tag from his title after he took over a 51-74 team and took them to a 24-13 finish in 2010.
Quade was never a candidate in the Jay search. But ... Ryne Sandberg, anyone?
