To this day I remember that call word for word. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should not have been hired and may never be hired again 2022 - Cairo. Interim to end the year, never coached again 2022 - LaRussa. Should not have been hired and frankly should've stayed retired in the first place; will never manage again 2020 - Renteria. Hired as a bridge guy, never coached again 2016 - Ventura. Had to be persuaded to take it, never coached again 2011 - Don Cooper (only a few games). Never coached again after being fired in 2020 2011 - Guillen. One terrible season in Miami, then never coached again If we're looking at guys that want to start their careers, well, we don't have a great history of anyone even getting employed after we touch them. Cairo is the bench coach for the Nationals. I’m not going to read the rest of this, someone didn’t do their research 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sox sure know how to pick em. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was just a third base coach for Toronto. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaliSoxFanViaSWside Posted 16 hours ago Share Posted 16 hours ago If the Sox wait until after the World Series to make the announcment ,it'll be McCullough. Getz has been around the Dodgers way of doing things every spring training in Glendale. He's very high up on the list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Milkman delivers Posted 6 hours ago Share Posted 6 hours ago So, anyone who managed here and went to another team left for an arguably worse franchise each time? Still doesn’t say much about our choices and what this franchise does to careers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wanted Veneble but ultimately it isn't gonna make much of a difference who they hire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Torborg one of the best managers and to the Mets but over thirty years ago now. Crazy. Francona not recognized for the sake of Bevington. Jim Leyland run off in the 80s. Meanwhile we get the Wally Backman's Omar Vizquels and yet another villain whose name escapes me. Wes Helms and Wallace Johnson.
