The Cubs have interviewed four candidates for their managerial vacancy, but general manager Jed Hoyer insists that there is no front-runner in the search. In addition to Indians bench coach Sandy Alomar Jr., who interviewed on Friday, Chicago has met with Phillies bench coach Pete Mackanin, Brewers hitting coach Dale Sveum and Rangers pitching coach Mike Maddux. "It's still totally open for debate," Hoyer said. "We are going to get back and have some discussions and then probably have some follow-up conversations. We spent a lot of time with these candidates. Now we can think about some follow-up questions." Hoyer added that it's possible the Cubs could talk to more candidates. "We feel really good about the four guys we brought in," Hoyer said. "We had four very good interviewees. I wouldn't rule out an additional candidate, but it's not a certainty either."
