CHICAGO -- The Chicago Cubs are set to hire San Diego Padres bench coach Rick Renteria as their manager, a person familiar with the situation told The Associated Press on Wednesday. Nike Vapormax Plus Orange . The person spoke on the condition of anonymity because the hiring has not been announced. The team was expected to make it official on Thursday. The move ends a long search that began with the last-place Cubs targeting New York Yankees manager Joe Girardi, only to be denied a shot when he decided to stay put. Instead, the Cubs are hoping Renteria can help develop their young players and lead them to their first championship since 1908. He replaces Dale Sveum, who was fired after two seasons. The Cubs went 66-96 this season and finished at the bottom of the NL Central. A former major league infielder, Renteria spent the past six years on the Padres staff and had been their bench coach since 2011. Before that, he coached and managed in the San Diego and Florida Marlins organizations. Renteria also managed Mexico in the World Baseball Classic in March. The Cubs are counting on him to get the most out of young players such as shortstop Starlin Castro and first baseman Anthony Rizzo, along with prospects such as Javier Baez, Jorge Soler, Albert Almora and Kris Bryant. The lack of development by young players on the roster was a major sticking point with Sveum. And with more young players on the way, the front office decided it was time for a change. The Cubs were 127-197 under Sveum and finished in last place for the first time in seven years. They had targeted Girardi, a Peoria, Ill., native and Northwestern product who played for them. But the former catcher signed a four-year contract worth up to $20 million to stay with New York through 2017. That forced the Cubs to look elsewhere. Besides Renteria, they interviewed former Mariners and Indians manager Eric Wedge, Rays bench coach Dave Martinez, former Nationals and Indians manager Manny Acta, former Diamond-backs manager A.J. Hinch, and Brad Ausmus, who was hired by the Tigers on Sunday. They were also interested in talking to Boston bench coach Torey Lovullo. But according to reports, the Red Sox invoked an agreement banning Cubs president Theo Epstein from hiring any of their employees over a three-year period.

The fight was originally slated for Sept. 6 but had to be postponed after Klitschko tore a bicep in sparring and was forced to miss four weeks of training.PHILADELPHIA - Philadelphia Eagles coach Chip Kelly doesnt plan to get caught in a trap.So the words Dallas and Cowboys have not been mentioned as his team prepares to host the Tennessee Titans on Sunday.After a 53-20 blowout loss to the Green Bay Packers last Sunday, and with the NFC East showdown Thanksgiving Day in Dallas, it might be easy for the Eagles (7-3) to look past a struggling Titans team from the other conference.Kelly wont let it happen.No, Kelly said Friday. No. 1, I dont believe in trap games. I think everybody knows in this league, everybody can beat anybody on any given day. There are a million examples of it, and I think its. . . it doesnt help anybody if youre looking for one team to go to the next game. The great thing about our league is you only have to play one game a week, so our focus and attention is on the one game we have this week.Former Eagles head coaches, most recently Andy Reid, would have some assistants look ahead when his team had a Thursday game coming up to get a jumpstart on the opponent. Thats not second-year head coach Kellys style.No, Kelly said about working ahead. Weve had this mapped out. We know exactly what were going to do on Sunday (after the Titans game). Well come right back in as coaches and get working on the game plan and be here all night.Then our players will come back in on Monday and well train on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday and get ready for the game. So we have the formula. Were not doing anything in terms of showing players film (on Dallas) or anything like that. Our attention, and sole attention, is on the Tennessee Tittans. 2018 Nike Vapor Max Plus. agles players are buying into Kellys thinking. The defence is concentrating on rookie quarterback Zach Mettenberger and rookie running back Bishop Sankey, not Tony Romo and DeMarco Murray. Not yet.Were all about Tennessee, Eagles safety Nate Allen said. Dallas is a week away. Well worry about that game after the Tennessee game. You cant afford to look ahead. Thats how you get in trouble.Its up to us to bounce back from last weeks game, take care of our business, here at home, and then in a quick turnaround get ready for the next game.Tennessee comes in at 2-8, a loser of four straight and eight of nine. The Titans rank 31st in overall offence and in run defence.Kellys coaches, like himself, dont want to forget the Titans.Thats next weeks question, right? offensive co-ordinator Pat Shurmur said when asked how he deals with a Sunday-Thursday turnaround. No, were working solely on Tennessee. We know, as coaches, we have what are considered four-day weeks. Last week we had a six-day week. But the bottom line its who do you play this week, and for us thats Tennessee.NOTES: Only quarterback Nick Foles (broken collarbone) was ruled out for Sundays game.
