From what I read the other day, it's not like this was a surprising outcome. I think Maddon was at peace with not coming back and told Epstein as much during their meeting.

Right, I think anytime you don't extend a manager's contract prior to the end of the season, this is the expected result. Usually the extension would happen prior to the start of the season, it sends a message to players that this guy isn't going anywhere.
