They are not going to force Lou out. It's going to have to be a situation where the Cubs are definitively done and there's no reason for Lou to stick it out.
However, I think your arrangement of Trammel as the manager and Ryno as the bench coach is the most likely of many scenarios for next year though.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Ya think? In that scenario, Ryno has to wait out Trammel's tenure. If Tram gives it a pretty good ride, he'll stick. But in an interim capacity, it changes the equation. I'd like to think Ricketts and the GM would be taking a long view and if Lou is not gonna get an extension...then maybe it's gonna be time for a move...especially if at some point we aren't in win now mode. In that scenario...is Ryno ready to manage in the bigs now? At the beginning of next season? If not, how better to work it than to make Tram interim. Now, if you think Tram would manage with a one-year deal...then you're right. He could certainly do that and audition for other jobs.
