One could argue that Maddon had major responsibility for the Strop injury (which likely cost the Cubs the Division).  And one could question whether his loose approach to the clubhouse might have contributed to some of the disappointing performances.  My own opinion is that Maddon is unorthodox but very effective, and I have no desire to see him replaced in 2019 (and I would be fine with him being extended for a few more years).
