Jerksticks Posted August 13, 2024 Share Posted August 13, 2024 Is there a path where Grady is considered for manager beyond this season? He’s in his 40s. Learned to play from the old guard but isn’t the old guard. If the players like him and play hard then all my boxes are checked. I’m interested in Sox baseball again, just a tiny bit, so maybe there’s something to this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand I think if they win at a more "regular" (not over .500 or anything) clip and play with some actual passion and aggressiveness maybe they'd keep him around. I know Getz said what they are looking for, but I guess that could always change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not against him as a caretaker for next year but we need to do a real search. Not that I have any hope of one. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmags Posted August 13, 2024 Share Posted August 13, 2024 Hey we've tried extremely qualified and unqualified and tbh not sure it makes a difference. I'll take playing experience, grady seems happy and nice. I'm not sure getting some manager from an org that has a real front office will help. I'm extremely concerned now that our opening will attract lazy grifters that see a sweet gig where you don't have to do anything except kiss ass and get to wear a uniform for 7 months and then a sweet vacay. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DFAthewave69420 Posted August 13, 2024 Share Posted August 13, 2024 Maybe the Sox players (who are here next year) pull a Las Vegas Raiders what they did with Antonio Pierce and demand the interim tag turns to head skipper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
