Dale Sveum Takes Chicago Cubs Job
BOSTON (CBS) - Dale Sveum is set to become a major league manager, just not in Boston.
According to multiple reports, Sveum has accepted the job with the Chicago Cubs. He will be introduced by the team on Friday.
Once said to be the Red Sox top candidate for the position left vacant by Terry Francona, Sveum was offered the Chicago job Wednesday night just hours after he had his second interview with Boston.

According to reports, the Sox were not ready to offer Sveum the job at the time. Boston will now take a break from their manager search as GM Ben Cherington heads to the Dominican Republic to scout outfielder Yoennis Cespedes.
98.5 The Sports Hub's baseball insider Jon Heyman of Sports Illustrated is reporting Sveum's deal with the Cubs is for three years.
