Cubs will interview Torey Lovullo for manager job, per report

Lovullo has been rumored as a possible candidate for the Cubs the past two weeks as their search has shown no signs of ending, despite numerous interviews and second interviews. The team has reportedly been waiting for the chance to interview Lovullo before making any decisions and he could become the favorite if a meeting with team officials goes well.

Cubs president of baseball operations Theo Epstein has said that he would like a new manager in place by the Nov. 11 general manager meetings. That gives the team just over a week to hire someone to replace Dale Sveum, who was fired following the 2013 campaign.
