for the 2019 season http://www.metsfanproshop.com/authentic-tim-tebow-jersey , ending speculation that they would fire him after losing to the Colorado Rockies in the NL Wild Card Game.Bob Nightengale of USA Today broke the news.Joe Maddon will remain as #Cubs manager through 2019, but there will be no extension. The Cubs will make a determination on his future after 2019 when his 5-year, $28 million contract expires.— Bob Nightengale (@BNightengale) October 3, 2018It wouldn't have made much sense for Chicago to fire a manager that led them to a World Series championship in 2016, ending a 108-year drought. Maddon and the Cubs have won 90-plus games in four straight years now, and reached the NLCS in 2015, 2016 and 2017.The Cubs lost a NL Central tiebreaker game to the Milwaukee Brewers on Monday, which forced them to play the Rockies in the NL Wild Card game. Chicago lost a nail-biter 2-1 in 13 innings Gary Carter Jersey , and their excellent showing in 2018 went down the drain after a pair of gut-wrenching losses.advertisingBut in big markets like Chicago, it's championship or bust when it comes to the postseason. The Cubs were defeated in five games by the Los Angeles Dodgers in last year's NLCS, then they had this late-season unraveling to miss out on the Division Series. Credit: Jerry Lai-USA TODAY SportsMaddon left the Tampa Bay Rays to join the Cubs in 2015, and they've won no fewer than 92 games in his first four years at the helm. One of the game's top leaders and in-game strategists, Maddon has more than deserved the chance to manage the Cubs for a fifth season.The Cubs lost Cy Young winner Jake Arrieta in free agency and replaced him with Yu Darvish, who made just eight starts and missed most of the season due to an elbow injury. Despite losing their top ace, Maddon and the Cubs were oh-so-close to a third consecutive NL Central title.advertisingMaddon is safe for at least another year, but the Cubs may decide to change things up if they don't go far into the postseason in 2019. New York Mets pitcherNoah Syndergaard is headed to the disabled list after contracting hand Dwight Gooden Jersey , foot and mouth disease, according to James Wagner of the New York Times.Mets assistant general managerJohn Riccoexpects Syndergaard to miss at least one start, per Wagner.The Mayo Clinic defines the disease as acontagious viral infection that "is characterized by sores in the mouth and a rash on the hands and feet" and is common in children. Wagner notes the team believes the pitcher contracted it while working at a youth camp during the All-Star break.Injuries have plagued the right-hander over the last two seasons. He was limited to just seven starts in 2017 because of a partially torn lat muscle. This year, he made it about two months before running into problems, as a strained ligament in his finger sidelined him for more than a month.Of course, Syndergaard is hardly the only Met to be bitten by the injury bug. Jay Bruce, Todd Frazier and Yoenis Cespedes are all among the New York players who have been hampered by various ailments this season.Regardless of how the team's offense is doing, New York has a chance to contend as long as Syndergaard and Jacob deGrom are healthy.Syndergaardposted a 3.24 ERA in 24 starts as a rookie in 2015 and had sub-3.00 ERAs in each of the past two seasons. In 2018 http://www.brewersfanproshop.com/authentic-orlando-arcia-jersey , the 25-year-old is 6-1with a 2.89ERA, 1.25WHIP and 83 strikeouts in 74.2innings.Without Syndergaard, deGrom and Steven Matz will face pressure to carry the rotation. Not only that, but Zack Wheeler will need to regain his pre-Tommy John 2014 form (3.54 ERA in 32 starts), while Jason Vargas will now have to show why the Mets gave him a two-year, $16 million deal in the offseason.New York currently sits at 40-56and in lastplace in the National League East.
