The Cubs won’t announce the move till Monday, but Fierro confirmed Friday from his Arizona home that General Manager Ed Lynch had made a change.
“Ed had a couple reasons,” Fierro said. “But, yeah, it’s somewhat of a surprise. I’m limited in what I can say.”
That’s because he’ll continue to be paid by the Cubs through December. Before joining the Cubs, he was a trainer with the Phillies.
Lynch is at organizational meetings in Mesa and couldn’t be reached for comment.
