Sutcliffe Comments on Possible Cubs TV Opening

From an article in today's Chicago Tribune.

Sutcliffe mentions that he is always interested in doing something with the Cubs. The Red Baron is currently under contract with ESPN and had planned to be a Spring Training coach with the Cubs prior to being diagnosed with colon cancer in May. Sutcliffe has undergone one successful surgery and has another coming up in November, but everything is going as well as can be expected and the ex-Cub believes he would be ready for a full season of work in the booth if the opportunity was there.

I loved Sutcliffe as a player and what little exposure I have had with him as a broadcaster has been favorable. Yes, even including the 2006 incident where a drunken Rick Sutcliffe pops into the TV booth in San Diego to chat with Matt Vasgersian and Mark Grant That's funny stuff.
