Cubs Hire Quintin Berry as Third-Base Coach

The Chicago Cubs are set to hire Quintin Berry as their new third-base coach, following his successful tenure as the first-base coach for the Milwaukee Brewers. Berry, known for his exceptional baserunning skills during his playing career and his coaching effectiveness, played a pivotal role in shaping the Brewers' identity around aggressive baserunning and strong defense. With the Cubs finishing 10 games behind the Brewers in the National League Central, Berry's expertise is expected to enhance their baserunning strategies, which already showed improvement last season. This move aligns with Cubs manager Craig Counsell's reorganization of the coaching staff after a disappointing 83-win season. Berry's familiarity with Counsell and his previous experience with the Cubs in 2015 further solidify his role in the team's future plans.
