Yeah there is nothing more a new manager wants than the old failed manager around “helping” him out. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoCalChiSox Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 (edited) They have to make it appear he wasn't fired because he's JRs boy. So he had a retirement from active managing for health reasons. And he's still a welcome presence at camp. And a "trusted advisor" And on the payroll. This is just for the old man and a dog and pony show. No need to get upset about it. McNamara was given the World Bank presidency so he wouldn't lose face. Maybe TLR just likes to be around baseball watching ST. It's a small price to pay to ensure he's no longer messing stuff up.

fathom Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 He wasn’t fired though. No doubt in my mind he would have returned if not for the health issue. 1 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If TLR were healthy he'd be back in 2023 and Menechino would have been the fall guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There would be an open revolt if he returned. They gave him a way to save face. That is all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
