Cubs Extend Contract of Manager David Ross
The Cubs have agreed to terms with manager David Ross on a contract extension through the 2024 season with a club option for 2025.
Ross, 44, is in his third season at the helm of the Cubs having guided the club to a 34-26 record and the NL Central Division title in the abbreviated 60-game 2020 regular season followed by a 71-91 mark in 2021, a campaign in which the team utilized a single-season MLB record 69 players. In 2020, Ross finished third in NL Manager of the Year voting after he became just the seventh manager to lead the Cubs to a division crown in his first season at the helm of the team.
Ross was named the 55th manager in Cubs history on October 24, 2019, after a 15-year major league playing career in which he won World Series titles with the Red Sox in 2013 and the Cubs in 2016. He is the 24th person to both play for and manage the Cubs. He joins Frank Chance, Joe Tinker and Johnny Evers as the only players to win a World Series as a Cub and later manage the team.
