Expand Not as appealing as they were 2 years ago, but the Sox are still in a far better situation that most teams looking for a new manager historically. They'll have more competition this offseason than an average one, though. That is for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I were in charge, and I'm not, I'd probably disqualify him all together for his connections to the Astros, albeit he did join after 2017 so I guess maybe I'd give some wiggle room.

joejoesox Posted October 4, 2022 Share Posted October 4, 2022 one thing is for sure, this board will absolutely be divided on who the pick will be I dunno if I want it to be an older vet to be honest, I think I'd rather have a younger guy who speaks fluent Spanish or is Hispanic, someone the younger guys can kind of relate to and will play hard for, someone who also has something to prove to the league that he isn't just a new name those are my criteria 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flavum Posted October 4, 2022 Share Posted October 4, 2022 With all of the managerial openings coming up, going to be interesting to see what postseason teams allow their coaches to interview this month.
