GreatScott82 Posted June 22 Share Posted June 22 (edited) I think it’s safe to say there will be a new skipper in the dugout next season. I heard Nightengale already name drop Skip Schumaker as a potential candidate. Supposedly he wants out of Miami? I’m curious to see who you guys think might be available and/or would be someone Getz will be interested in?

WestEddy Posted June 22 Share Posted June 22 I always liked Showalter, but I can also see them going cheap, and just promoting Jirschele or Santos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhiteSox2023 Posted June 22 Share Posted June 22 Pedro is here until the end of the season. He will be the fall guy for Jerry and Getz. The next hire will of course be someone cheap internally and with ties to the Sox. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With JR as owner it is best to never assume anything rational. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who in Jerry’s inner circle does he like the most these days.. ? We know back in 2020 it was TLR. Perhaps his old player crush, Harold Baines wants in on the managerial position?

Matt Quatraro is an excellent manager. KC made the right call with that hire. Makes you wonder why KC didn’t even consider making their own bench coach a manager, yet our former front office thought he was so amazing. ? ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreatScott82 Posted June 22 Author Share Posted June 22 I brought up Schumaker because Nightengale also mentioned him being a disciple of LaRussa back in his Cardinal playing days. We all know TLR will have a huge influence on the next managerial hire. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
