Joe Maddon managed Tampa Bay from 2006 until the end of the 2014 season, when he opted-out of his contract.
Maddon is known for his ability to produce quality teams on a low budget. He left the Rays with a .517 winning percentage, one World Series appearance, and two Manager of the Year awards. The Cubs will look to Maddon to develop prospects and produce their first winning season since 2009.
