Kalapse Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 It's Jerry doing a favor for La Russa, the Sox are hiring Hinch. That Nightengale article is so bad, Bob truly is the worst around “Ultimately, I think the best candidate or the ideal candidate,’’ Hahn said, “is going to be someone who has experience with a championship organization in recent years, recent October experience with a championship organization.’’ Yes, that’s Tony La Russa. No, Bob, 2011 is not "recent", such fluff garbage. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wegner Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 I am just going to say that it is more important what starting pitching the Sox bring in the offseason than who the next manager will be imho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just look at the way that article is written, it's fluff to make it seem like La Russa isn't a decaying corpse, there's nothing critical about it, he's writing PR for Tony. It's a favor. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YourWhatHurts Posted October 12, 2020 Author Share Posted October 12, 2020 Hawk talked about this during his final broadcasts. He doesn't think AJ wants to manage. AJ is being a family man now. Maybe when his kids are in college he will want to leave the booth and occupy a clubhouse. Whenever he is ready to do any of that, bring him aboard in some role.

hi8is Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 (edited) Not sure if this has been posted or not yet but it’s from the USA Today, “The White Sox plan to reach out to one of the greatest managers in baseball history, who managed his last game in 2011, who was inducted into the Hall of Fame six years ago, and who is 76 years old. The name: Tony La Russa.” ”La Russa has declined several managerial opportunities in the past, but this job opening, well, has him quite intrigued.” ”Certainly, the White Sox will interview more people than La Russa, with former Houston Astros manager A.J. Hinch sitting high atop their list. They have not shown interest inAlex Cora, who like Hinch, were suspended by Major League Baseball this past season for their roles in the 2017 Astros cheating scandal.” Edited October 12, 2020 by hi8is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joejoesox Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 is there a precedent for what the timeline looks like after the season ends for when a new manager is hired? Will the interview process have already started? Do they have to wait until after the world series? Will a new manager be hired before December?

Hinch (and Cora) are suspended until the World Series is over. They are not allowed in major league facilities, so where and how they can be communicated with now is unknown. But I’m sure the Sox will have a new manager press conference before Thanksgiving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He will not sit idly by. He'll tell Hahn and the stat people around him what he needs to sniff the WS. Tony will look at the pitching staff and laugh. He will demand an upgrade in RF. If Tony has not followed baseball closely we got to pass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
