After his playing career, Ryno came up through the Cubs system as a manager-in-training, starting with Class-A Peoria in 2007-08 and then moving up to Double-A Tennessee in 2009 before finishing up with Triple-A Iowa in 2010.

Sandberg then moved to the Phillies organization when he was passed over for Mike Quade for the Cubs' big-league manager gig.
