The Cubs may be ready to reach out to estranged icon Ryne Sandberg as they continue to rework the organization. Sources close to the Cubs, along with those close to Sandberg, have said in recent weeks that they expect a reconciliation this offseason. The Ricketts family ownership made it clear, even as Sandberg left the organization a year ago when he lost Chicago's managing job to Mike Quade, that they hoped to renew ties with the Hall of Famer.
