Joe Maddon and Cubs Part Ways After Five Seasons

After a sit down and a couple bottles of expensive wine with Theo Epstein, it's official, Joe Maddon will not be returning as Cubs manager.

Announced just after noon on Sunday (9/29), the Chicago Cubs will not be offering manager Joe Maddon a contract extension.

Here's the official announcement, shared via Jordan Bastian's (Cubs reporter for mlb.com) Twitter account.

Don't you wish you knew everything that was said during all that wine drinking? And, in case you were curious, that Caymus cabernet wine is almost $200 a bottle.

Thank you Joe, for all the games when we didn't suck.

Especially this game...
