  1. Counsell was presumed to be headed to the Mets
  2. Counsell wasn't even reported to be on the Cubs' radar
  3. The Cubs voiced support for David Ross
  4. Counsell is bound for a division rival after nine years in Milwaukee

nine years in Milwaukee

It goes way deeper than that. I'm a Cubs fan who loves this move, but Counsell

  • grew up in Milwaukee

  • his dad worked for the Brewers

  • he played for the Brewers

  • Brewers were his first managing gig, the aforementioned nine years
