That is highly unlikely...ESPN has reported that Epstein phoned Sandberg to tell him that he was not on the list of candidates for the Cubs job. Theo has announced that his new manager will have to have MLB experience as either a player or a coach.

Also, Milwaukee's Dale Sveum has been discussed in recent hours, as Sveum was part of Epstein's 2004 champs in Boston, and has ample coaching experience on the MLB level.

Finally, a potential nightmare may await Cubs fans, as the Cardinals have approached the Phillies for permission to talk to Sandberg about their just vacated manager post.

Stay tuned for further developments...

The latest word (as of 12:01AM Friday):

Terry Francona is now being considered, as are Sveum, Pete Mackanin and Mike Maddux. More to follow...
