Sure, but you can't guarantee me that at the time of hire so no not really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Tony is hired...I sure hope Jirschele is his bench coach or third base coach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. TLR is pretty antithetical to the core of this team IMO. FA spending doesn't fix that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChiSoxFanMike Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 Does AJ Hinch have a brother in law? If so can the Sox sign him to help with the recruiting efforts? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is just madness by JR. Sorta kinda took a couple steps forward last off season with player acquisition... and now this off season we’re going to run backwards with an actual living dinosaur as coach You're not crazy. A recent poll (back within last couple weeks) showed that there were a lot of people who agree with this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
