So from what im gathering, Nevin is anti analytics? Considering the push for more analytics why is he even being considered then? Doesnt make any sense

Brooks Boyer actually responds personally, i had a back and forth with him over emaill about the TLR hire years back

if my team gave up top prospects for Robert id riot

we have no analytics team so until Jerry dies and a new owner hires an actual president of baseball ops this franchise will be a joke

LaRussa is our President of Baseball Operations already

Man my heart just aches for the A’s

hes probably breathing a sigh of relief that he wasnt put on the MLB team

He wont sell, he needs to croak to get an ownership change. Sadly I have a bottle of champagne ready for the occasion.

Yet his title is going to be Assistant to the GM, so is he doing international scouting or what?

Sadly Ohtani's feat buried this story very quickly

APOLOGIZE

After Ken Rosenthal confirmed all of our suspicions, it seems like Hahn had little to nothing to do with how the team was put together. He tried to bring modernity to this woeful franchise and wasn't able to convince Williams and Jerry and was outcasted by everyone in the org because of it. Its time Soxtalk apologizes, as a former Hahn hater I will start: I am sorry Rick.

I am only half way through, it took me 20 minutes to get there because I was getting so angry and had to take breaks

He sets them up to retire, I talked to former players about it. One of them said Jerry got him into real estate and after his short career he was able to retire because he was renting out 20 apartments in Houston. Jerry helped him with it.

gotta love the 'Jerry is a competitor' company line
