Dave Martinez could be the latest Cubs coach to be fitted for another uniform.
According to the Washington Post, Martinez will be interviewed for the Nationals' manager position.
Martinez has spent the last 10 years by Joe Maddon's side as his bench coach, first with the Rays and then with the Cubs.
But Maddon would like nothing more than to see Martinez leave the Cubs dugout and run his own team.
"You give him a lot of latitude during the course of all games during the season for years," Maddon said before Game 2 of the National League Championship Series. "He definitely feels comfortable and free telling me what he thinks, which is the way I want it."
Maddon was been thrown out of the Game 1 of the series, leaving Martinez in charge, something he said he's done in the past.
"Once I leave the dugout I don't send little slips of paper down there," Maddon said. "Davey's very capable and Davey should be a major-league manager soon."
The Nationals, who interviewed Martinez for the job after the 2015 season, did not renew Dusty Baker's contract after the Cubs eliminated them from the postseason in the division series. Baker managed the Cubs from 2003-06.
Martinez, 53, played 16 years in the majors, including four with the Cubs and three with the White Sox.
Maddon said after this season he expected all his coaches to return next year, but the team chose not to renew the contract of pitching coach Chris Bosio, though it hadn't formally announced any changes to the staff as of Monday morning.
