Ed Lynch leaves Cubs organization (for real this time)

with 3 comments

I almost missed this nugget the other day in one of Bruce Levine’s posts from the GM meetings:

We’ve also learned former Cubs general manager Ed Lynch has left the organization to pursue a job with Major League Baseball. Lynch was a scout in Arizona for the Cubs. He was fired as general manager in 2002.

Lynch has been on the Cubs payroll for years. Somehow he even survived a couple of years after Andy MacPhail left the organization.

  1. I guess Lynch as a scout helps to explain the similarities between Lynch’s guys like Ozzie Timmons and Derrick May to Hendry guys like David Kelton and Micah Hoffpauir.
