I think it’s a big deal that it seems that the Sox are the only team in the league that tells prospective managers “we picked out your staff”.
in isolation, yea Katz is fine he has some hits and misses. They just hired some of these guys last season so we don’t really know what they bring. But this isn’t in isolation, this is a regularly occurring thing for this ownership front office and frankly it sucks that these guys come in and they can’t even hire their own guys outside of a few positions.
hope it works out for Venable, hasn’t really worked out for his predecessors save one
