Well for all of those who wanted TLR to zoom the players to talk to them and introduce himself to them. Well that ship has sailed. Not that it was going to happen.

Not a tier 4 guy like they like.

Well nothing to say about this hot take. LMAO

I look forward to our Tier 4 slightly broken, probably old, hopefully we get that one last year of thunder from them typical FA guys we will get. The typical sox FA. What aging NL former star that is about 38 are we going to pencil in in RF. Do we have a broken down FA pitcher that might have one last year in the tank. This was always the plan. Remember 2nd place is okay with JR.

If expensive free agents decide not to come here how does that hurt JR. He doesnt care about the media. He doesnt care about the fans. He wants to right his wrongs with his friend.

Well next up to make this worse. Its when they decide to fill his bench with former sox players. Bobby Jenks for pitching coach is an obvious hire now.

Then Hinch should of been the hire even before Drinky woke up from his "its 5 oclock somewhere" nap.

They knew he was arrested. They chose 1.) Not to disclose this 2.) To hire him anyway Zero fucks are given by JR to anyones feelings. This is a business and his personal playground.

He doesnt care about that. He is going to stick to a budget.

He lost his job. This due process crap is great. This is TLR's second time. There is enough smoke to see that there is fire.

JR doesnt care. This is a billionaire and his personal playground. This proves once and for all he doesnt care about winning. He just cares about what makes Jerry happy.

My guess its either Dotson or Hassler if they keep in-house. Otherwise look for a TLR former player or former A's/Cards minor league coach. Its not going to be Katz or Zaleski. The pitching coach for the Tigers was probably Hahn's #1 target. He was allowed to go to a division competitor without us even interviewing him. That should tell you enough about this process. An Old Duffer will be the guy.

He wanted Dave Duncan until Dave told him he was still staying retired. My guess is get ready to be disappointed.

There is about 0% chance that any of the coaches will be younger guys. There will be no guy in the dugout waiting in the wings to take over for TLR. TLR probably gives about 2 shits about his successor. There will be no analytical coach. If that was the case their number 1 target would be the current pitching coach and not the pitching coach for the Tigers. We are going to go old school. This is a guy who hired a vet as his analytics guys. He already tried prying Duncan and his 77 year old ass out of retirement. This is who he is. He is going to dig up old friends and bring them along for the ride. Its either old coaches or former players of his.

At this point. Has he been hiring these managers? Or has it been the collective including JR getting sentimental. Oh lets wake up Robin and see if he wants a cherry job.

I am sure that Hahn wanted to replace Cooper with probably my guess a younger analytics based coach. My guess is TLR is not on board with that. He probably wants an old duffer who is in his history of coaches. This coaching staff is going to be a retreads dream.

#2 is what I think. He is going to pull rank. Might as well have Hahn and Kenny reporting to him.

Why in the name of god does TLR have to get the owner involved on hiring coaches.

TLR is trying to find all of his retired buddies to see who wants to dust off their walkers and come and coach the kids. My guess its Richard Dotson.

As a republican which you kind of claim to be who cares. I am a republican and I dont care. I really dont care that agent orange is out of the white house. The only thing he did was to screw up our party. I don't live in Oregon. You don't live in Oregon. If you did live in Oregon, then move. If their moronic local and state gov wants to deal with the antifa and the proud boys playing "Gangs of New York LARP battle royale" then great. Once again. I don't live there. Stupid games will win stupid prizes in the end. Maybe one of them next can bring a wooden horse to the others side and see if that finally breaks the spat between two groups of morons.

The frightening take here. What if TLR just thinks. Fuck it. I am a HOF manager. Who the hell is Tim Anderson. He can hear from me at spring training when I pencil his name in the lineup.

If a crazy ultra liberal candidate was going against trump I would of held my nose and voted for trump. Biden at least is a centrist and is someone that can win a general election based on pulling from all sides. This is why he got my vote and that was the only D I voted for here in Illinois.

Nagy is playing checkers.
