Fox 5 DC is reporting Martinez will get the Nats job and be
announced after the WS is over according to Cubs Insider.
Robert Murray mentioned on Twitter that Todd Greene could be a
bench coach option.

From the linked article:
“Todd is a cross between Mike Scioscia, Joe Maddon, and Mike
Matheny,” says the scout."
High praise there. ;)

Craig, thanks for the article about Hickey.
Seems like he brought some principles to Rays' pitchers and got
strong buy-in to them...and got his guys to believe in
themselves.
Self-confidence seems a given for the best-of-the-best type guys
who can climb the mountain to make it to the major league
level...but most of those guys go through crises of confidence
at the MLB level, too, playing against other players who are
also ridiculously talented and the many other obstacles other
teams can through at them today with advanced scouting and
sabermetric support.

Heyman is confirming Martinez to the Nats.

I've been thinking of what the perfect, yet reasonable offseason
would look like. For me it would be somehow winning the Otani
sweepstakes, trading Baez for Michael Fullmer and resigning Wade
Davis to a 3 year deal. That gives the Cubs a young, controlled,
cost effective rotation for several years going forward and
leaves Montgomery in the swingman, 6th starter role in case of
injury. I know, this is pie in the sky thinking, but hey, a man
can dream.

Perfect offseason- Ohtani, Cobb for the rotation. Marrow (if
Cameron’s 2/18 is realistic), McGee and Shaw. Plus Hinkey
teaching Edwards, Wilson and Maples to throw strikes and Chili
Davis fixes Heyward.
