The job being open for awhile is one thing, but mentioning his name and discussing it with him privately without asking permission from the White Sox first would be tampering wouldn't it. From his Score interview yesterday he wouldn't even bite when asked in a roundabout way concerning Jeff S because of the tampering rules. JR has always been fiercely loyal to his employee's so for me this is a surprise that JR wouldn't let KW at least interview for the position. It would be a huge promotion for KW and even if it is a kick in the gut to JR, I really believe that he will let him talk to Toronto. Sounds like a really sensitive issue going forward.
I think that's pretty well said and sums up everything quite nicely.
