Yeah it seems like a smokescreen. A lot of strange stuff going on.

No idea honestly.

Report is false from Mike Rodriguez.

SI wouldn’t allow this to posted on an affiliated site if it’s bs and this is an Astros editor. ?

James retweeted Mike Rodriguez tweet.

He’s got sources but I believe Eloy vs. Wall’s and Northbrook Bob’s sources over WSD’s more now. Eloy vs. Wall hasn’t refuted it yet. If those guys start refuting the report than its probably most likely false but what’s really interesting is Eloy vs. Wall has confirmed some of Comiskey Footlong’s tweets as true lately so who knows…. Now If James starts refuting it than it’s definitely false.

Because it’s not in the mainstream media yet if true obviously. He’s still coaching in the playoffs.

Eloy vs. Wall hasn’t refuted it yet. Maybe he heard something that he can’t say yet or was told not to say anything. It may take a while like until after the WS to get to the mainstream media. Another good sign is if we don’t announce a hire right now and things are just dragging until after the WS is over.

FWIW

Don’t count me on this, but I think he admitted that he shouldn’t of tweeted that or that the trade fell through or something along those lines.

Yes but he also broke that TLR was retiring. He does have sources.

In English.

There you go as expected. Chicago, Miami and KC the remaining vacancies now.

I hope we stay away from Grifol though. The Royals aren’t a winning organization and he learned under Matheny. Hire someone from a winning organization.

Miami is a pretty attractive destination. The team isn’t good but the weather is nice year round except for the hurricanes and there is no state income tax. Texas is also an attractive destination but I think Bochy will end up there so that would leave us, Miami and KC. We are a more attractive destination than KC so really our competition would be Miami.

Texas GM really likes Bochy. Sounds like he’s going there so if that happens it would be Chicago, Miami and KC for the remaining managerial vacancies.

We’ll see on Ron Washington. I’m starting to warm up to the idea because our defense wasn’t good last year but I would prefer they hire Espada. But out of all the older and more experienced managers out there, IMO Washington is the best one.

This was from yesterday.

Interesting. Click putting too great an emphasis on analytics, and Dusty being invited back. Hmmm ?

You hearing any names except for Espada? Are Matt Quatraro and Kevin Long being strongly considered? It sounds like Long interviewed so it will be interesting to hear how that went.

Miami is also interviewing Quatraro and they were impressed by him so it sounds like it’s going to be a while. I guess we’ll know soon enough if this is a Hahn pick.

This managerial search.
