Somehow Lance Briggs seems to have been the one who started it. Nothing is official, but it seems fairly likely/a foregone conclusion at this point unless TLDR changes his mind. Rumor that Dave Duncan (pitching coach) will not be coming along. There's about 5 different things in this comment that make me uncomfortable. I don't like the way this is heading.

southsideirish71 Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 (edited) So we had a GM who spent a few years assembling a long term run. The minute we get to the point of this team being ready to compete for a long time our geriatric owner decides to over rule the GM to hire his bestie who is also geriatric. The bestie will have all sorts of powers and will be for all intensive purposes unfireable. Decisions will be made in the short term that will have massive long term consequences. You might as well have Kenny steering the ship now because the chips are all in now if TLR is on the team. I cant wait for TLR to be making GM level decisions on this team. That should go well. Next up Guaranteed Rate to start peddling reverse mortgages as part of our new identity.

Look at Ray Ray Run Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 After reading the NY post article today on the Mets sale and de blasio, maybe Jerry will bring in A-Rod to mentor him as next Sox owner lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
