Seriously though ... first base coach might be an appropriate start for Ross, if he wants to leave the side hustles behind and start coaching. Think of all the little pep talks he would give each batter who reached first.  It'd be adorable. He and Anthony Rizzo would probably fully embrace for a solid ten seconds after each HBP.

Normally I'd want a new coach to start in the minors but I think Ross is a special case. He's more valuable to the big league club and it would make an easier transition for him.

With that said, I hear Ryne Sandberg is available.

Ross' familiarity and credibility with the current roster would make it reasonable to jump the usual career path. But truth is, he's probably stacking more ched and definitely getting more family time doing what he's doing.

I wonder if Ryno still wants the 4 months of travel. Just bought a big house in Gurnee. Grandkids all around.

"Sandberg, who had most recently been living in the Phoenix area, tells Crain's that he has grandchildren in Lake Bluff."
