Cubs to Hire Rick Renteria as Manager: The Chicago Cubs are hiring Rick Renteria to succeed Dale Sveum as manager, signing him to a three-year contract. Renteria, 51, was bench coach for the San Diego Padres the past two seasons. He speaks Spanish and served eight seasons as a manager in the Marlins’ and Padres' farm system. The news comes as the Cubs are angling to end the team's TV contract with WGN, which would end a relationship that began in 1948.
