The Chicago Cubs officially have a new pitching coach, as Jim Hickey has agreed to a contract on the North Side.
Hickey, 56, is reunited with Joe Maddon, as they were both with the Tampa Bay Rays for eight years before Maddon became the Cubs manager in 2015. A Chicago native, Hickey spent 11 seasons as Tampa Bay's pitching coach that came after a 2.5 year stint as the Houston Astros pitching coach.
Hickey has been on two World Series coaching staffs, 2005 and 2008.
