(Chicago, IL) -- Dave Martinez is following Joe Maddon to the Windy City. The Cubs have named Martinez their bench coach. Martinez held the same role under Maddon the last seven seasons with Tampa Bay.

The 50-year-old is also a former Cubs player. He had been a preliminary candidate to replace Maddon as manager of the Rays, but was not among the three finalists announced by the team last month.
