The Cubs will name Jamie Quirk their new bench coach.
Earlier this month, Chicago hired Dave Sveum as their manager. He replaces Mike Quade.
"It's just a great opportunity," Quirk said. "When Dale Sveum was interviewing, he asked me if I'd be interested if he gets any of the jobs, and he got the Cubs. I talked with [Cubs president of baseball operations] Theo [Epstein] and passed that test, and called [former Astros general manager] Ed [Wade] for permission and all that. I was excited.
"It's the Cubbies. Who wouldn't want that job? They have a very famous tradition in baseball, and it will be nice to be part of turning it around."
Quick previously worked as the bullpen coach of the Astros.
